editOngoing Monterey Bay Work
edit- List of tourist attractions in Monterey County, California
- {{Monterey Bay tourist attractions}}
- see also {{Monterey Bay Area}}
Got caught up in a backlog with the first block, on historic buildings:
- Category:History of Monterey County, California
- Category:History of the Monterey Bay Area
- Category:National Historic Landmarks in California
- Category:National Register of Historic Places in Monterey County, California
- Category:Cemeteries on the National Register of Historic Places in California
- Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in California

- Category:Queen Anne architecture in California
- {{National Register of Historic Places in California}}
- {{List of Historic Buildings in Carmel-by-the-Sea}}
- American Legion Post No. 512
skipping to outdoors:
- {{Monterey County tourist attractions}} links in to regions: Big Sur, Salinas Valley, and Monterey Bay
- what about {{Monterey Bay Area}} - is there mention of regions? Santa Cruz Mountains? Big Sur? those templates/navboxes?
- this page could probably have more content added, but it's time-consuming to find featured content: Portal:Monterey_Bay_Area/Topics
{{Press|subject=article |author=Ryce, Walter |title=Monterey's art scene was misrepresented for years on Wikipedia.

subcategories for historic houses on national register of historic places
editCategory:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in California:
- it has an LA subcategory
- Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Los Angeles
why not a monterey county subcategory?
- Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Monterey County, California
- intersection of categories:
- Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in California
- Category:National Register of Historic Places in Monterey County, California
- example: Samuel M. Black House

- okay, here's the query: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=incategory%3A+%22Houses+on+the+National+Register+of+Historic+Places+in+California%22+incategory%3A%22National+Register+of+Historic+Places+in+Monterey+County%2C+California%22&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1

monterey bay area and san francisco bay area to rival los angeles area
editmaybe not such a good idea:
- Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in the San Francisco Bay Area
- Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in San Francisco County, California
- Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Alameda County, California
- Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Santa Clara County, California
- Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in San Mateo County, California

List of Articles of Interest
editLow Hanging Fruit
edit- List of timelines#Physics (needs a hydrodynamics and fluid mechanics timeline)
- See this page on thefullwiki.org on the history of fluid mechanics - good starting point for a timeline.
- See User:Charlesreid1/Timeline of hydrodynamics page for draft of hydrodynamics timeline.
Biographies
edit- William Craig Reynolds (can be improved/expanded, see this article on William C Reynolds published in Ann. Rev. Fl. Mech. by Moin and Homsy)
- Haldor Topsøe (just a little bit of room for improvement/expansion; chemical engineer who founded the company Haldor Topsøe, heterogeneous catalysis company; interview with Topsøe in Ann. Rev. Chem. Bio. Engr. [1])
Requires A Lot More Work
edit- Fluid mechanics (citations)
- Homogeneous isotropic turbulence (needs to be written)
- One dimensional turbulence (needs to be written)
- Reynolds transport theorem (citations, needs expansion)
- Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (citations, needs expansion)
- Turbulence (needs expansion)
- Vortex stretching (needs expansion)
Requires A Little More Work
edit- Robert Kraichnan (needs expansion)
- Osborne Reynolds (needs cleanup and improvement)

19 Guidelines for Creating Software: from The Cathedral and the Bazaar
- Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch.
- Good programmers know what to write. Great ones know what to rewrite (and reuse).
- Plan to throw one away; you will, anyhow.
- If you have the right attitude, interesting problems will find you.
- When you lose interest in a program, your last duty to it is to hand it off to a competent successor.
- Treating your users as co-developers is your least-hassle route to rapid code improvement and effective debugging.
- Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers.
- Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone.
- Smart data structures and dumb code works a lot better than the other way around.
- If you treat your beta-testers as if they're your most valuable resource, they will respond by becoming your most valuable resource.
- The next best thing to having good ideas is recognizing good ideas from your users. Sometimes the latter is better.
- Often, the most striking and innovative solutions come from realizing that your concept of the problem was wrong.
- Perfection (in design) is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
- Any tool should be useful in the expected way, but a truly great tool lends itself to uses you never expected.
- When writing gateway software of any kind, take pains to disturb the data stream as little as possible—and never throw away information unless the recipient forces you to!
- When your language is nowhere near Turing-complete, syntactic sugar can be your friend.
- A security system is only as secure as its secret. Beware of pseudo-secrets.
- To solve an interesting problem, start by finding a problem that is interesting to you.
- Provided the development coordinator has a communications medium at least as good as the Internet, and knows how to lead without coercion, many heads are inevitably better than one.
