Powerbase can be made more effective if more people join the project. If you have research or writing skills or just spare time, you can help.

If you are unsure where to start, you could expand some of the recently created stubs. (If you look at the recent changes page you will see these 'stubs' - articles that may just be a line or two and needing to be fleshed out).

There is an automatically updated page which includes the pages signalled by Powerbase users as most wanted. There's also a page with a list of Things you can do to help.

Or if you'd like some other suggestions closer to your interests you could drop Powerbase editor, Melissa Jones an email: melissa jones AT Powerbase.info
