My Discussion Area:

I welcome questions and suggestions. But I am just starting and can do most of the needed corrections on this draft. What I need are people to try to tackle the vast number of equations, data and tables, maps and common lists on Wikipedia. Wiki's should be database driven - where the objects come into Javascript ready to use. And where compiled programs can readily absorb. use and generate common formats for global sharing.

Equations, Dates, People, Places, Books, Reports, URLs, Online Services, Calculators, Function Calls, Models, Datasets, Images, Videos, Tables, Large databases, Lists

If someone wants to start at Wikipedia to study stellar surveys, they should be able to tap ALL online astronomical and spectroscopic resources, and all the supporting research and details. It something has roots that go back a hundred years, and has involved millions of people, then the model and tool implicitly should be traceable that far back and in that much detail. Humans can do some of it, but once humans have transcribed it and verified the basic pieces, the computers can process the routine and not-so-routine portions.
