Welcome to the Climate Change AI wiki! You’re joining a community working across continents, at the intersection of different fields, on a global problem. The wiki is a place to learn about, share, and distill ideas related to climate change and AI, and we hope that will grow into an accessible and comprehensive resource for the community.
 
== Community ==
 
=== Expectations ===
Line 35 ⟶ 39:
* Moderators will warn users who engage in behavior violating these guidelines, but failure to heed several warnings will result in the users being blocked from the wiki.
* You may appeal a moderator decision by posting a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks request to unblock] on your User Talk page. All appeals will be reviewed, but moderators hold no obligation to reply.
 
== Contribution ==
There are many ways that you can contribute to the Climate Change AI wiki.
 
=== Share resources ===
 
* On many pages, you will find descriptions of relevant resources for learning about or contributing to a problem. These lists will often be incomplete, and we invite you to extend them. For example, do add relevant journals or conferences that you notice are not currently listed.
* When adding a resource, make sure to add a link and a brief description. This will ensure that readers will be able to get an overview of many resources at a glance, but can easily seek out further details if they find the description interesting.
* When adding a resource, make sure to maintain consistency in formatting. If you notice that all previously added resources were in boldface font, make sure to stick to that.
 
=== Improve content and clarity ===
Community wikis become more refined through many small changes contributed by many people. Do not hesitate to add a new piece of information or suggest a rewording that improves clarity.
 
* If you notice that an idea is touched upon but not fully developed, a sentence or two of additional elaboration can improve the richness of the wiki’s content.
* Tighten verbose text or add concrete examples.
* If you notice that something worth discussing — perhaps a description is too technical or imprecise — then make sure to begin a discussion on the page’s Talk page. The talk page can be found by prefixing « Talk: » to the page name. For example, the talk page for [[Electricity Systems|Electricity systems]] is at [[Talk:Electricity Systems]].
 
=== Identify and develop application areas ===
Within a general problem domain (e.g., electricity systems), there are often a few more specific subproblems of interest (e.g., supply and demand forecasting). These are typically linked from "Machine Learning Application Areas" sections on individual pages across the wiki. We invite you to both add new application areas and develop the associated pages.
 
When creating a new application area page, consider adding the following sections,
 
* Relevant readings: What books or papers would you recommend that someone new to the field read, to become oriented in the topic?
* (Online) Course materials: Are there existing structured learning programs for learning about the application area?
* Community: What societies, journals, or conferences should a new contributor to the application area become familiar with?
* Libraries and Tools: Are there software packages that can facilitate work in this application area?
* Data: Are there common types of data that are used in this application area? Are there example sources that are publicly available?
* Future directions: What are the open problems in this area?
