Goals and scope

Goals

The project aims primarily to improve:

Wikipedia's coverage of all software-related articles
all Category:Software stubs

Scope

WikiProject Software is a collection of pages devoted to the management of computer software articles on Wikipedia.We aim to help set up standards of organization and presentation for articles on:

Software
Software Vulnerabilities and Exploitation (Viruses, Adware, Spyware, etc.)
Software Security tools
Information Security issues
Free Software

Things to keep in mind

There are a few things that you should try to keep in mind while editing software articles.

Audience

One of the primary goals of this project is to make computer science articles accessible, so you should make an effort to explain any jargon.

Conventions

Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science/Manual of style is a draft manual of style for CS articles.
Wikipedia:Algorithms on Wiki How contains hints on providing good sample implementations of algorithms
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Mathematics#Typesetting of mathematical formulae describes how to typeset mathematical expressions
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Computing is a guideline on writing better articles on computer-related topics

References

Try to ensure that every computer science article includes at least a few relevant references, and direct citations for anything that could be considered controversial. Wikipedia articles cannot be a substitute for a textbook (that is what Wikibooks is for), and references can give readers some idea of where they should go if they need more information than the article can provide. Just as important, providing further reading enables other editors to verify and to extend the given information, as well as to discuss the quality of a particular source.

You can find more information on citations and references, as well as several examples for how the cited literature should look, in the style guide on citations. Wikipedia's List of publications in computer science can be a good source of references and citations for computer science articles, as can Citeseer and Google Scholar.

Old Announcements

Software Wikia is a wiki specialised on software using semantic extras. If a nice article does not have the required Wikipedia:Notability, simply export it and ask an admin for an import there.
WikiProject Free Software is now merged with WikiProject Software. The link to WikiProject Free Software is Wikipedia:WikiProject Software/Free Software.
To better serve Wikipedia, WikiProject Malware is now under the parent of WikiProject Computer Security. All Malware articles are currently being transferred over to the new project. In any case, you are welcome to join at WikiProject Computer Security!
All members of WikiProject Software are urged to install the Centralized Announcement System on their talk page.
I have changed the participant (members) table by replacing the Task column with Area of Expertise. I also introduced a new template based status system so as to "arrange" the members according to whether they are active, semi-active, inactive, or retired. Please update your entry accordingly.
New IRC server! The old channel on Freenode is not used anymore. See See here. Manual for using IRC can be found here for why. Find us at:

Quality scale

The quality scale is the WikiProject computing scale.

The B-Class criteria are: (1) referenced; (2) coverage; (3) structure; (4) grammar; (5) supporting materials; (6) accessible language.

Importance scale

Importance	Criteria	Examples
Top	Core articles which are a "must have" for Wikiproject Software. High-traffic articles which many people outside of computer software will already have a good knowledge of.	Mac OS, Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows
High	Most people interested in software will be familiar with the topic, and the article gives context to a number of other information software articles. Is mentioned by many books and academic papers, and discussed in detail in more than one.	Adobe Acrobat, Avast!, iOS
Mid	Known to many people interested in software, even if not in detail.	Adobe Flash Player, Google Voice, RAID
Low	More specific and specialized content known only to some people interested in software. Most individuals, standards and software projects will be low importance unless they are well known or have high adoption.	DVD Studio Pro, Defraggler, EJay

Stuff to do

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests : Work on the tasks listed below.
Photo : Category:Software articles needing images
Stubs : Expand stub pages listed at Category:Software stubs
Other : Draw in more participants; review software articles nominated for deletion

WikiProject Software to do list

The following topics are missing an article; calling all enthusiasts to start these articles urgently. [Read the Talk page]
- Gordian Knot (software), AutoGK, a bit obsolete, but still worth an article, or two (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BeSweet)
- Topaz Labs (software), photo editing software in the same vein as Photoshop or NIK software. The company has expanded and is used by many various fine art and photography professionals. www.topazlabs.com. Deserves an article.
- (please feel free to add more)

The following articles need some updating and cleanup (please feel free to add more):
- BlueSpice for MediaWiki
- Cabri Geometry, article too short but of significant importance
- Defraggler
- EmEditor, needs notability references, and general improvements
- Ext4
- Flowtracer
- Google File System, tagged with {{Expert-subject|Software|date=November 2008}}
- Home Assistant (seems to be consensus that this needs cleanup from uninvolved editors after its 2nd AfD, as of 2021-04-02)
- Hypervisor, the PCs and desktop systems section needs attention
- Jv16 powertools [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
- KVIrc
- Light (web browser), just created, it's decently written but still really short, and it's not part of this project yet
- mdadm, mostly non-encyclopedic content (HOWTO/manual)
- Micro Transport Protocol, widely used since uTorrent 2.0 released
- Ntfsprogs
- Norton 360
- Recuva
- Presentation Manager, requesting screenshot of GUI, also needs references
- Program Information File
- Software as a service
- Windows library files
- XNUMBERS
- Zamzar
- Zero Install, a bit confusing article, needs to be explained more clearly
- Autodesk Media and Entertainment, major content deletion happened for cleanup on 17 March 2008 (11,000K to 2,000K), and now it's so outdated & stub-like it needs a total rebuild
- List of web application frameworks, go through the articles of listed frameworks and nominate for deletion the non-notable ones, clean the list from non-notable ones, clean Template:Application frameworks
- Aviary (application suite) Needs major updating, referencing, and clean up.
- Scrumban article reads like a sales brochure and I don't have the subject knowledge to fix it.

The following page lists articles that need expert attention from WikiProject Software and have been tagged by {{Expert-subject|Software}}:
