== Outline update 2011-01-18, and an invitation... == 

 Robert, 

 Thank you for setting up the alerts page.  That should help a lot. 

 As you probably know, I'm in the process of getting the outline development team back up to speed.  I hope you will help keep an eye on things. 

 With that in mind, here's a copy of the update on the project I've been sending everyone, followed by an invitation... 

 We've undergone a name change: the project has been simplified to "WikiProject Outlines". 

 The current main focus is on increasing the availability of outlines.  If readers can't find the outlines, the outlines can't help them.  We need to figure out the best places to put links, and the best ways to attract external traffic directly to these pages. 

 While studying the link structure to outlines, I came across a navigation aid I forgot we had that you might find useful: 

 : If you'd like to use the main page with outline links instead of portal links, set Wikipedia:Main Page alternative (outline links) as your default main page.  See the instructions. 

 Due to the occasional sniping attempt on outlines and their support pages, outlines now have an alert page at Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines/Article alerts. Please go there now and add it to your watchlist. 

  and  are working on a project to track traffic to outline pages.  Speaking of traffic... 

 A discussion on outline traffic analysis has been started on the Outlines WikiProject talk page.  You are cordially invited to participate.  Your input is greatly needed on possible ways to increase the availability of the outlines.  All ideas and feedback are welcome.  I look forward to seeing you there. 

 Sincerely, ''''''''  

 P.S.: don't forget to watchlist the alert page mentioned above.  Cheers.  -TT'' 

 P.P.S.: how goes the traffic tracking project?
