To-do

This is a page intended mainly for admin and editors, serving mainly to list out the current Grammar Wiki priorities (and providing the relevant links).

Current "Big Picture" Priorities

1. Revise the content of the Grammar Points by Level lists to be as complete and level-appropriate as possible. This directly benefits AllSet Learning clients and also improves the accuracy of AllSet's future level-focused analytical initiatives. Starting at the lower levels, link each grammar point of the Grammar Points by Level lists to the appropriate pages using the appropriate AllSet grammar tag code. This establishes the necessary links between AllSet's backend data and the content of the Chinese Grammar Wiki. This also makes easy browsing of wiki content possible for AllSet clients.
2. Add useful example sentences to pages that could use more substance. (Make sure to get help from native speakers for this!)
3. Add more popular grammar books' table of contents to the Chinese textbook grammar index page
4. Fill out the Learner FAQ page, and add appropriate links
5. Complete all major Parts of speech pages, and add appropriate links
6. Fill out the Grammar structures pages, adding relevant links
7. Add further references to all pages, and improve articles overall "interlinkedness"
8. Redo Main_Page to highlight the most useful content
9. Continue to add needed articles, clarification, and other useful information

Summer Priorities

(These notes will remain here for the time being, since they are still useful.)

1. Finish the backend code to link Chinese Grammar Wiki pages to our backend analytical engine (task for Nilesh)
2. Finish the basic content of the following highly requested pages (complete with examples and the appropriate code). Articles marked DFN are 'done for now', i.e. main article content has been completed
   • Word order - add 也 placement examples
   • Bei sentences (images have been replaced with tables, but 2 sections are still incomplete)
   • Separable verbs (clean up code; move word list)
   • Complements (picky point needing clarification: does 得 precede complements, or is it actually part of complements?)
     • Result complement DFN
     • Potential complement DFN
     • Direction complement DFN
     • Degree complement DFN
     • State complement DFN
     • Location complement
     • Quantity complement
     • Time complement
   • Shi... de construction DFN
3. Create pages, content for the A1 grammar points.

Ongoing Maintenance Tasks

1. Keep the Chinese Textbook Grammar Index up to date, adding needed textbooks with their appropriate grammar points
2. Add the relevant materials to Chinese Grammar Reference Materials, complete with proper Amazon affiliate links
3. Update the Grammar Points by Level lists and add the appropriate grammar tag code links as new content is completed
4. Keep the editor instructions page up to date
5. Revise texts and links as necessary to be consistent with the style guide and editor instructions.
