Timeline

Goal	Timeline	Volunteer names
30 articles	July end	Completed
100 articles	September end	70 articles done
200 articles	December end
Public release	Mid-spring 2011	All

Article number can be boosted by:

1. Data sharing
2. Writing at-least 2 articles a month (by filling forms). For 10 volunteers, if eight write 2 articles a month and two write 4 articles a month, in one month, we'll have ~25 articles. Since at any given time, there will mostly (and hopefully) be a core group of at least 10 contributing the most, the minimum monthly target should 30 articles at any given month.
3. Docu-thon: Marathon of biodiversity documentation. One month where every volunteer contributes 5 articles. For 10 volunteers, we get 50 articles in that month.
