WikiProject Software to do list

• The following topics are missing an article; calling all enthusiasts to start these articles urgently. [Read the Talk page]
  • Gordian Knot (software), AutoGK, a bit obsolete, but still worth an article, or two (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BeSweet)
  • Topaz Labs (software), photo editing software in the same vein as Photoshop or NIK software. The company has expanded and is used by many various fine art and photography professionals. www.topazlabs.com. Deserves an article.
  • (please feel free to add more)

• The following articles need some updating and cleanup (please feel free to add more):
  • BlueSpice for MediaWiki
  • Cabri Geometry, article too short but of significant importance
  • Defraggler
  • EmEditor, needs notability references, and general improvements
  • Ext4
  • Flowtracer
  • Google File System, tagged with {{Expert-subject|Software|date=November 2008}}
  • Home Assistant (seems to be consensus that this needs cleanup from uninvolved editors after its 2nd AfD, as of 2021-04-02)
  • Hypervisor, the PCs and desktop systems section needs attention
  • Jv16 powertools [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
  • KVIrc
  • Light (web browser), just created, it's decently written but still really short, and it's not part of this project yet
  • mdadm, mostly non-encyclopedic content (HOWTO/manual)
  • Micro Transport Protocol, widely used since uTorrent 2.0 released
  • Ntfsprogs
  • Norton 360
  • Recuva
  • Presentation Manager, requesting screenshot of GUI, also needs references
  • Program Information File
  • Software as a service
  • Windows library files
  • XNUMBERS
  • Zamzar
  • Zero Install, a bit confusing article, needs to be explained more clearly
  • Autodesk Media and Entertainment, major content deletion happened for cleanup on 17 March 2008 (11,000K to 2,000K), and now it's so outdated & stub-like it needs a total rebuild
  • List of web application frameworks, go through the articles of listed frameworks and nominate for deletion the non-notable ones, clean the list from non-notable ones, clean Template:Application frameworks
  • Aviary (application suite) Needs major updating, referencing, and clean up.
  • Scrumban article reads like a sales brochure and I don't have the subject knowledge to fix it.

• The following page lists articles that need expert attention from WikiProject Software and have been tagged by {{Expert-subject|Software}}:
  • Category:Software articles needing expert attention

Inverse BYOD

Hello,

Wrt http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bring_your_own_device, I noticed you nuked the "Inverse BYOD" aspects. Why?

From what I've seen its quite common to note the opposite / counter-solution in these Wiki articles.

K

Hi Kevin

"'Inverse BYOD'", the opposite of BYOD, is where the enterprise provides employees a user-managed device for Internet access, both for business and reasonable personal use. With inverse BYOD, the business provides general/open Internet connectivity (local WiFi to a commercial ISP and/or cellular service), denies them interior enterprise network access, imposes acceptable-use / behavior policies, and enforces relatively weak device security requirements.

If the primary reasons for adopting BYOD are to either cut costs or reward employees, then is this an opposite / counter-solution?

I also have a few doubts about the use of the phrase "Inverse BYOD" to describe this practice

The cited source of information, does not mention "Inverse BYOD" so I searched for it and Google shows only 850 hits for "Inverse BYOD" all of which were written after the phrase was introduced on Wikipedia - So could this be a original research?, or perhaps original nomenclature?

Most importantly the provisioning of separate infrastructure and/or separate devices for separate security zones is well known and doesn't (to my knowledge) attempt to address the problems that BYOD is supposed to solve. So probably best to set this up as a separate article or find a better home for it in another article.

Regards

Simon
