[Wayne Williams <ww...@fiu.edu>]

I wanted to help out with the apache TLP wikipedia pages. Is there anything
specific that I would need to know?

Coming back to this question. Such a page already existed but was last updated somewhere in 2015. Altough it took me some time, I just completed updating this list, and the Wikipedia page can be found here [1].

This way, when someone wants to start/continue with this task we can simply point them to the list of projects on Wikipedia.

I wonder if one could add a Wikipedia page that lists all the Apache projects?

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for your interest!

What I would recommend to start with is to get a project from
https://projects.apache.org/projects.html and check if a Wikipedia
page exists for this project.

If no such page exists, create one with a brief description, the
project's logo, language etc.

I myself did this for the project I am involved with, Apache Celix [1]

Use this as an example and start creating Wikipedia pages for
the projects listed on projects.apache.org
Note that I had to mention the source of the brief description
and that the website was licensed under the Apache License v2
as well. Otherwise the possibility exists that the article will be
flagged for deletion.

The task aims to check the Wikipedia pages for all projects and
this can be time-consuming. Just start with one project, create a
Wikipedia page, and have fun contributing back to the community.

Please contact me, or this mailing list, if you have any
questions at all.

@Comdev PMC
It is probably a good idea to track the status of this task somewhere.
Is anyone having an idea for this, or is the cwiki the best place for this?
