Project idea
editWhat is the problem you're trying to solve?
editEditors don't have an easy place to ask for assistance on a small project. I, for example, wanted to gather help for Hypericum, but don't know many other Wikipedians. I tried to ask in many places (Teahouse, Help Desk, WP:PLANTS Talk page, etc.) but got just about no response.
What is your solution?
editMy solution is to create a common space for editors to ask for help on small projects. The discussion of these could then be moved to a talk page elsewhere.
Project goals
editI expect that the biggest thing that will happen is that the plant community will become reinvigorated. Editors who want help will easily and rather informally receive it.

Endorsements
edit- I think this is a wonderful idea. It becomes very difficult for certain events for one person to edit on their own. RES2773 (talk) 00:29, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input! I honestly didn't think anyone would reply here. Fritzmann2002 (talk) 17:27, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
