* Questions:
** 1) '''Where should we tag <nowiki>{{Portal|Java|Wave.svg}}</nowiki> and/or <nowiki>{{Java (Sun)}}</nowiki> / <nowiki>{{Java Virtual Machine}}</nowiki>: on some or all Java categories, on some or all Java articles?'''<br/><br/>
*** I'll risk an answer to my own question: the Portal template is used on 2,200,000 pages so it should be safe to put its Java incarnation in all Java-related articles, under the See also section. As for the navbox mechanism, it seems to be used extensively by some projects and not at all by others. I think the Java (Sun) navbox is a worthwhile addition to any Java-related article (more than the over-specialized JVM one), right before the Category tags. But I don't think putting any of these 3 templates in remaining categories is worthwile. The cumbersome job of putting the 2 tags, Portal and Java (Sun), in all Java-related articles should be done in combination with the tagging of unaccessed Java-related articles with {{tl|Compu-stub}}. Anyone with another opinion?...<br/>-- [[User:Alainr345|<span style="display:inline-block; position:relative; top:20px;"><font face="Times" color="#4590ff" size="2"><u><i> Alain R 3 4 5 </i></u><br/><font color="#ffb000"><sup>Techno-Wiki-Geek</sup></font></font></span>]] 02:00, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

** 2) '''Is there a better way to screen for untagged Java material than the searches suggested under List: in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Java/Things you can do|Things you can do]]?'''<br/><br/>
*** Again I'll do some loud thinking here about this second question of mine. Since I could not figure out a less convoluted way of finding existing Wikipedia content currently untagged for Java, I'll keep it at that. The first [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=Java+%22programming+language%22+platform+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+programming+language%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+device+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22JVM+programming+language%22+-incategory%3AEclipse+-incategory%3A%22Java+enterprise+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+virtual+machine%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+specification+requests%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+development+tools%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform+software%22+-incategory%3A%22Free+software+programmed+in+Java%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+libraries%22+-incategory%3A%22Articles+with+example+Java+code%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+APIs%22+-incategory%3A%22JavaServer+Faces%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+API+for+XML%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+Internet+Relay+Chat+clients%22+-incategory%3A%22Eclipse+technology%22+-incategory%3A%22Eclipse+software%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+applications%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform+games%22+-incategory%3ASodaplay&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&title=Special%3ASearch&advanced=1&fulltext=Advanced+search search] I'm referring to gives 935 articles, the second [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=Java+(%22programming+language%22+OR+platform)+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+programming+language%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+device+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22JVM+programming+language%22+-incategory%3AEclipse+-incategory%3A%22Java+enterprise+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+virtual+machine%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+specification+requests%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+development+tools%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform+software%22+-incategory%3A%22Free+software+programmed+in+Java%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+libraries%22+-incategory%3A%22Articles+with+example+Java+code%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+APIs%22+-incategory%3A%22JavaServer+Faces%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+API+for+XML%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+Internet+Relay+Chat+clients%22+-incategory%3A%22Eclipse+technology%22+-incategory%3A%22Eclipse+software%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+applications%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform+games%22+-incategory%3ASodaplay&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&title=Special%3ASearch&advanced=1&fulltext=Advanced+search search] is 3515 long; so I guess we will stay with the first one for the time being. What I suggest is to cover all of that material by placing those 935 links in a list (on the to_do subpage) with 3 types: 'Good candidates', 'Bad candidates' and 'Unclear'. An example of a 'Good' article for inclusion in Java categories would be [[Jess_programming_language]], a 'Bad candidate' would be [[Computer]] and an 'Unclear' is [[Cross-platform]]. After that process, we settle the 'Unclear' and then we tag all the 'Good candidates' with Java categories. What do YOU think?<br/>-- [[User:Alainr345|<span style="display:inline-block; position:relative; top:20px;"><font face="Times" color="#4590ff" size="2"><u><i> Alain R 3 4 5 </i></u><br/><font color="#ffb000"><sup>Techno-Wiki-Geek</sup></font></font></span>]] 02:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

** 3) '''What kind of Infoboxes (if any) like <nowiki>{{Infobox software}}</nowiki> should we put in articles?'''<br/>
*** Since there is not a whole lot of folks doing stuff here presently, I'll answer this one of mine gladly for you Javawees: having done researching on this subject, I don't think there are any other infobox in existence adequate for Java-related material (except maybe in rare cases). The Infobox software should therefore be added BUT only to those articles that talk about well... a piece of software. That could be done at the same time that we do the BIGTO ('BIG tagging operation'), see 1 and 2 above.<br/>-- [[User:Alainr345|<span style="display:inline-block; position:relative; top:20px;"><font face="Times" color="#4590ff" size="2"><u><i> Alain R 3 4 5 </i></u><br/><font color="#ffb000"><sup>Techno-Wiki-Geek</sup></font></font></span>]] 02:51, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

** 4) What are the merits of using <nowiki>{{Template:Did_you_know}}</nowiki> to get visibility on the main Wikipedia page? (not so urgent...)<br/><br/><br/>
