Somewhere in 2006 some Contributors have started to found small CommunityProject<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s around specialized areas. This helps people to coordinate their [[How Editing Works| editing]] efforts and to find like minded editors and with knowledge in similar areas.

In fact such projects and joined efforts are ''the'' way to deal with the growth of both the community and the database. Feel free to contact, or join these groups, or found a new one!
