	~~{{Shortcut\|AP:Todo\|AP:Todolist}}~~		As a community project, Asylum Projects has documented literally hundreds of institutions ranging from State Hospitals to State Schools and most things in between. Thousands of images have been uploaded on a nearly daily rate. Yet, we still need your help to expand the project even more!

	~~This is~~ a ~~list~~ of ~~things~~ that ~~need~~ to be ~~done and objectives to be met~~. ~~Please add new things as you think of them and also delete or strike through things~~ that ~~have been created or met~~.		*Is there a state hospital, state school, sanitarium, or similar institution near you that you are interested in?
			**We have a variety of states, counties, and providences that have very little to no entries that could be filled in.
			**We also have many entries that could use a bit more information. Go visit our ((entry grading tiers)) to find entries that could use a little more work/information.

	If you ~~want~~ to ~~specifically want~~ to ~~work on something/take~~ on ~~that task just sign your name with four <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> and you can do~~ the ~~same if you add something that you plan on doing~~.		*Are you an academic studying a subject field that is related to this database?
			**This website is always interested in reading new essays or papers related to this subject.
			**We are also always interested in a student’s paper on an institution within the database.

	~~== Construction List ==~~		*Are you a historian and are researching an institution within this database?
			**Many entries lack a history or only have a brief history. The entries can always use better histories.
			**Submit a history, time line, or any other historical related paper on an institution for others to read.
			**If you have historical images that you would like to share, we would be pleased to have them in the database and we will make sure that the proper credit is given.

	~~These are things that I am doing~~/~~need to~~ do~~. I~~ have ~~been thinking and I realized~~ that I can~~'t do just one thing without doing~~ the ~~other stuff. I want this~~ to ~~be a sort of construction plan/blueprint. If you or anyone wants~~ to ~~help out, great. [[User:M-Explorer\|M-Explorer]] 12:37, 13 November 2009 (UTC)~~		*Did/do you work in one of these institutions?
			**Do you have memories that you would like to share?
			**Where there pictures taken that would be cool to share with use?
			**Is there a reunion web site that we can add to the database for others to go to?

	*'''"This is the most important!"''' The basic foundation that needs to be laid and is the most important is transferring all the information over from the old site to the new site. This will be the most time intensive and is the most needed. When doing this, concentrate less in adding new things as much just transferring over the raw information. We can and will clean it up later. This means transferring over the history/institution ~~info, and photos. If we don't assign or assign wrong categories that is fine, we can smooth that out.~~		*Where you a patient/client within an institution in this database?
	*Don't add anything to the main page for now. I already know how the behind the scenes structure will work/look like and before we can just start adding things, the structure needs to be planned out. The end goal is that the main page will be protected with only the high level users being able to edit it and even then they really would not need to do that. How I want the main page to work is that there will be various portals. What these portals will allow us is to plan/change the main page while not actually working on the main page. This is the same idea as other wikis and will work well here. The issue before I can create those is we also need to create the foundation articles/policies running those portals as the portals will be the end result. The portals will be things like:		**If it is not painful, would you like to share your experience with us?
	**<s>Featured Articles</s>
	**<s>Featured Images</s>
	**<s>News</s>
	**<s>The mission Statement</s>
	**<s>A "Help Wanted" banner</s>
	*I want to create expandable navbars that can be placed at the bottom of the articles to give more links/information to the readers. While the groundwork behind the scenes programming/code has been done, this is not a priority.
	*We need to import/create more editing templates that will help add/augment the articles. I want to use the same ideas as is used in ~~Wikipedia. They make the most sens and will ultimately help with the structure of~~ this ~~site.~~
	*~~We really need to come up with/write policies that will govern this site. These include:~~
	**A comprehensive policy on images, their use, what can and cannot be uploaded, how they are to be used in the article etc.
	**A encompassing statement/policy on UE and trespassing. We need to stress that we do not ~~endorse~~, ~~encourage, or accept any information that could be considered illegal of nature.~~
	**We need to come up with a spam policy as users might use their user page as a promotion tool or add promotional material to the articles in the site.
	**This also means we need to come up with a user page policy.
	**Also we need to work on the [[AP:MOS]] to reflect how the articles should be written with sub pages to help editors in creating the articles.
	**We also need to come up with a reference help policy to delineate how we document information if it can be documented and how our system differs from other wikis like ~~Wikipedia. (I.E. something to help people research where the info came from so they can do the same research. I do not want this~~ to ~~be the same sense as Wikipedia's which places heavy weight on third party sources which will not work here. I want this to be more like what is in essays, research papers, thesis's, and books.)~~
	*To help with ~~the main page and also to high lite articles that could use more information we need to set up a grading tier so that we can show which articles need the most work. The system may work like:~~
	**Featured article
	**Good article
	**Starter article

	~~== Goals/Objectives ==~~		*Have you visited one of these places and have memories, pictures, or a passing interest?
	*~~Come up~~ with ~~a date/goal that we can show this wiki.~~		**Did you take pictures that you would like to share with us?
	*~~Come up with~~ a ~~date/objective/goal~~ to ~~when we can make this wiki the main wiki and take down the old software.~~		**Did you create a web site or segmented a portion of your web site to an institution that would better explain an entry?

	~~== Got Ideas ==~~		*Have you written a history on one of these places or know of a better history then what is on this database?
			**Please share it with us.

	~~Is there something (Which~~ is ~~most likely)~~ that ~~we haven't thought~~ of or you ~~just thought~~ of?		*Would you like to help us fill in the gaps in information?
			**The majority of the information within this database is here due to the hard work and volunteering of people like you. We always need the help.
			**There are a variety of areas within the database that need more information. Some of these areas are: [[Canada]] /[[Australia]]/[[France]]/[[Ireland]]/[[New Zealand]].

			*Do you know of a website, book, or blogs that should be included in the database?
			**Then add it to the database or bring it to our attention and we’ll add it.


			If you want to help, but don’t have an account, then go [http://www.asylumprojects.org/tiki-register.php\|here] and register an account (Hey, it’s free and easy!)

			Also, we have message boards for those who want to discuss the various institutions within the project. You can visit the message boards [[AsylumProjects:Message Boards\|here]].

			So please take a moment to join the project and help us make this project even better.
