User:Rf/School of Economics Main Page Rewrite

Welcome to the Wikiversity School of Economics

Economics is a social science that deals with the production and distribution of goods and services based on scarce resources.

This page is for organizing the development of content related to economics. We are seeking motivated people with an interest in economics to help create new lessons, gather content from throughout the web, and to organize and maintain existing economics pages.

Currently, the Wikiversity School of Economics is small enough that content development projects should be organized directly on the main page, for example the Blogroll project below. This helps give projects visibility and promotes morale through frequent activity. Projects should be moved to their own pages and replaced by links when they are big enough.

Please avoid creating learning resource stubs and red links without any plans for developing them — the last thing we want is to get bogged down in empty content!

TODO List

• Gather contributors!
• Develop the short-term goals of the school
• Create an economics portal with content for learners
• Gather links to quality resources to start making this page useful for teachers and learners
• Look through the economics category for salvageable content and link it back here
