===Description===
Line 38 ⟶ 47:
* There's no requirement that new WikiProjects go through a formal proposal process; the mechanism is in place to assist editors uncertain of whether a WikiProject should be created, not to prevent them from doing so. So, from a procedural standpoint, a "retrospective" request isn't really necessary; if the project has been created and is active, then there's no real reason why it would need any sort of "approval".<p>More generally, though, I wonder if perhaps the number of articles specific to the OS itself might be too small to sustain a full WikiProject? Perhaps it would be better to combine all the individual OS-level projects as task forces of either WikiProject Computing or a new WikiProject Operating systems? [[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill]] <sup>[[User talk:Kirill Lokshin|[talk]]]</sup> 11:54, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
*:Very useful comments. Thanks for clarifying. The task force scenario is exactly the sort of thing which could do with tidying up. <span style="white-space:nowrap;">-- [[User:Trevj#top|Trevj]]</span> ([[User talk:Trevj#top|talk]]) 11:59, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
* I've had a look at your project and am impressed with the initiative you've taken. I am concerned that the topic is too narrow to sustain the project in the long term. Making it a task force under [[WP:COMP]] would keep the project from every becoming an orphan. --[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 13:34, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
*:So, per [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject RISC OS#Project scope]], should the project be moved to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/RISC OS task force]]? Could it still be ''termed'' {{tq|WikiProject RISC OS}}? How would this affect the [[Wikipedia:Article alerts/Subscription list#R|article alerts]] and the [[User talk:Svick/WikiProject cleanup listing/Archive 1#WikiProject RISC OS|cleanup listing]][http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/CleanupListingByCat.php?project=RISC_OS]? <span style="white-space:nowrap;">-- [[User:Trevj#top|Trevj]]</span> ([[User talk:Trevj#top|talk]]) 14:49, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
*::I was about to list this at [[WP:AN/RFC]] but have [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKvng&action=view&diff=516787618 posted at Talkback to Kvng] instead. Maybe we should wait a while longer to see how things evolve. <span style="white-space:nowrap;">-- [[User:Trevj#top|Trevj]]</span> ([[User talk:Trevj#top|talk]]) 08:36, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
::::Thanks for contacting me. This page is still on my watchlist but I missed it. If you want to pursue this further, you should probably ''also'' list this at [[WP:RFC]] or wherever is most appropriate. There has not been a lot of discussion and what you do have is not fully supportive of your proposal. I'm not an expert in WikiProject systems. I modeled my suggestion above off [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Computer networking task force]] where I'm an active member. You would, at minimum, get the functionality you see there. More is probably possible. -—[[user talk:Kvng|Kvng]] 16:22, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
:::::Thanks. I've also [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKirill_Lokshin&action=view&diff=516966467 notified Kirill Lokshin], and will list at [[WP:RFC]] (or other suggested avenue) in the future. Cheers. <span style="white-space:nowrap;">-- [[User:Trevj#top|Trevj]]</span> ([[User talk:Trevj#top|talk]]) 07:20, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
