In this task you will need to write an article on wikipedia about Haiku's basic apps. It should cover ActivityMonitor, CharacterMap, CodyCam, DeskCalc, DiskProbe, DiskUsage, DriveSetup, Expander, Installer, Magnify, MediaConverter, Screenshot, SoundRecorder, Terminal, TextSearch and TV

This article should introduce the reader to this technology for the first time while being encyclopaedic in nature and citing sources where possible.

You will need to be a native speaker of English and your work must be your own. That means you can not just copy & paste other people's work as your own, as that is cheating/plagiarism. There are anti-plagiarism bots on wikipedia, so it is kind of pointless to try it.

You can quote ('Jones said "bah bah bah" '), you can paraphrase and you use can use a hybrid of the two ('Jones stated beh beh beh "bah bah" beh beh '). This means you can only use other people's work when you admit and give credit to them and their work. 

If you are a German, French or Russian native speaker, then you can ask (on IRC) one of our mentors who speaks these languages to be a mentor for a German, French or Russian verson of this task. Otherwise you are out of luck.

The article should be a summary or overview of these apps and should briefly cover each of these apps in one or two sequences.

Check out this link to see a example article of the length and quality that you need to aim for.

 DO NOT create a page on wikipedia proper, but create a page in your user sandbox. This allows you to edit the article at your leisure without a wikipedia administrator pestering you that the article is not complete.

While logged into wikipedia,  click here to create a sandbox page.

Once the task is complete it can be moved over to a public page.

You can quote or paraphrase content from here:

http://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/applications.html

Otherwise you can seach for discussions about each individual app on the Haiku website for more info.
