[edit] No need to make sweeping commitments

Uh, pals, there's no need to make huge promises if you're not going to fulfill them. Just do the work you can. There's no pressure here. If you can't do it all, do some and leave the rest to the future. --Monk_talk 03:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Labs

If it's alright, I'll do all the labs around the end of April. Someone should probably check over them briefly, but I should get it mostly correct. After all, I'll be writing these to make sure I know it all for the AP exam!

[edit] Framework created

I've created the framework, and I hope to write 1 article per month, complete with graphics. Along the way, I'll be updating the Biology wikibook. Please feel free to add!

[edit] Structure

Each article of the Study Guide should include a "Keywords" section, preferably at the top of the page. Once one article is 100%, we'll decide upon a more parmanent standard structure and style. Suggestions for an additional articles should be run through this talk page first, and any major structural changes should receive a couple days of warning. The current structure looks something like this:

Contents
The 12 AP National Labs
 Overview
   1. Diffusion and Osmosis
   2. Enzyme Catalysis
   3. Mitosis and Meiosis

[edit] Style

For all Study Guide articles, begin with (edit this page to view formatting):

Contents | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

---

Study Time | X minutes. (explain what to focus on.)

[edit] Keywords

Replace link with the section name where it is mentioned, or create one with <span id="LINK"></span> if it is a long section. See here for an example.

[edit] Proposed rename

I'd like to rename all the pages in this book so they begin with "AP Biology/" as opposed to "AP Biology:". This would make this book consistent with the naming policy for new books and with the naming convention used for other books. I trust this change would be non-controversial, but I note this proposal here in advance of any move so that if anyone wishes to make a comment, they can, Jguk 13:28, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Let's try...

You can import some of these chapters from General Biology and then edit them, right? 68.4.3.164 21:25, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Forgotten?

Is anyone else working on adding content to this book? We need attention from an expert- I've noticed many errors and have done my best to correct them.

Please see my comments on the discussion page regarding the new system of taxonomy.
