<http://comppile.org/site/contribute.php>
In a nutshell, we are looking for publications not yet entered into the database, especially from 2000-present, although 1939-1999 records are certainly welcome.

Rich Haswell offers a brief introduction and links to download the document or view it online.
WPA-CompPile Bibliographies: Update
December 18, 2010 – 10:33 amAs you may recall, last month Dylan (Dryer) sent out two requests (to WPA-L) for a short survey on WPA CompPile Bibliographies use and areas needing annotators. We were delighted to receive 146 responses that gave us very good information about traffic to and within the Bibliographies page. We also heard your topics-requests loud and clear.
Now, the WPA-CompPile Bibliographies could use you. Please compare your areas of expertise to the two lists of topics below and let me <rhaswell@grandecom.net <rhaswell@grandecom.net> or Dylan <dylan.dryer@maine.edu <dylan.dryer@maine.edu> know which you’d be willing to take on.
All the details about the Bibliographies initiative are here:

CompPile Glossary: 4,870 items
December 18, 2010 – 10:29 amEarlier this year (July 2010), we uploaded Rich Haswell’s current version of the Glossary of rhet-comp
terminology: <http://comppile.org/site/glossary.htm>
With about 4,870 items, it’s a fourth longer than the previous version. I
don’t know how many terms the final Glossary will have (6,000?). Right now
I’m in the middle of the L’s. It’s slow work, since I’m changing,
regularizing, and augmenting search terms in the CompPile database as I go
along.
Suggestions are welcome. Send them to Rich <rhaswell at grandecom dot net>.
