Our site is among the strongest to enter Public Beta in the last several years, but there is a lot of work to be done. There might never be a better time than now, to help make this site a **huge** success.

 - [We need a logo for community ads](https://materials.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/122/logo-needed-for-community-ads)
 - Our best logo can then ***replace the existing "Science SEs" advertisement*** on the following Science Meta pages:
  - [Physics Meta](https://physics.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/915/consider-supporting-proposals-of-other-se-science-sites)
  - [Chemistry Meta](https://chemistry.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4675/27342)
  - [Astronomy Meta](https://astronomy.meta.stackexchange.com/q/588/33303)
  - [Earth Science Meta](https://earthscience.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1856/18946)
  - [History of Science and Mathematics Meta](https://hsm.meta.stackexchange.com/q/325/8052) <!-- (the ad there also has 0 upvotes, unlike other ) -->
  - [Engineering Meta](https://engineering.meta.stackexchange.com/q/616/18132)
  - [Mathematics Educators Meta](https://matheducators.meta.stackexchange.com/q/668/13687)
  - [Open Data Meta](https://opendata.meta.stackexchange.com/q/448/24779)
 - We can also ***replace our Community Promotion Ad*** in the following places:
  - [Physics Community Promotion Ads](https://physics.meta.stackexchange.com/a/12743/134583)
  - [Software Engineering Community Promotion Ads](https://softwareengineering.meta.stackexchange.com/a/9076/359157)

  - [Cross Validated Community Promotion Ads](https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/a/5855/211119)
  - We can also place a Community Promotion Ad on other sites if people have suggestions.
 - We can also add the "Science stack exchange helping other science stack exchanges" add to the following:
  - [Space Meta](https://space.meta.stackexchange.com/) (they are advertised on all of the above already, they might be welcoming).
  - [Operations Research Meta](https://or.meta.stackexchange.com/) (they are advertised in some of the above already).
  - [Robotics Meta](https://robotics.meta.stackexchange.com/) (they are advertised in all of the above already).
  - [Artificial Intelligence Meta](https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/93481/artificial-intelligence) (edit 60 of the Physics ad shows they were advertised there).
  - [CompSci Meta](https://scicomp.meta.stackexchange.com/)  (edit 49 of the Physics ad shows they were advertised there).
  - [Data Science Meta](https://datascience.meta.stackexchange.com/) (edit 40 of the Physics ad shows they were advertised there).
  - [Sustainable Living Meta](https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/33364/sustainable-living)  (edit 17 of the Physics ad shows they were advertised there).
  - [Cognitive Science Meta](https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/2149/cognitive-science) (edit 2 of the Physics ad shows they were advertised there).
  - [Biology Meta](https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/12502/biology) (edit 1 of the Physics ad shows they were advertised there).
  - [Psychology Meta](https://psychology.meta.stackexchange.com/) (edit 1 of the Physics ad shows that an earlier Psychology site was advertised there).
  - [Bioinformatics Meta](https://bioinformatics.meta.stackexchange.com/) (they don't yet have the generic ad that the above sites have, but they are still in Beta so they would benefit from the help).
  - [Economics Meta](https://economics.meta.stackexchange.com/) (they don't yet have the generic ad that the above sites have, but they are still in Beta so they would benefit from the help).
  - [Computer Science Meta](https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/35636/computer-science) (they graduated before the original Physics ad was made).
  - [Cross Validated Meta](https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/33/statistical-analysis) (they graduated before the original Physics ad was made).
  - [Theoretical Computer Science](https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/8766/theoretical-computer-science) (they graduated before the original Physics ad was made).
  - We can also put a free Community Promotion Ad [here](https://www.physicsoverflow.org/19675).
  - Any other ideas for sites that might benefit from us and be willing to help us (Drones, 3D Printing, etc.).
 - [Site proposals were made for Materials Modeling and related topics in the past](https://materials.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/119/can-we-find-and-invite-all-supporters-from-the-previously-failed-area51-attempts) and we can reach out to supporters of those failed proposals to make them aware that the idea has finally succeeded.
 - [It has been suggested to make a "canonical resource list" to which we can refer new questions as duplicates](https://materials.meta.stackexchange.com/q/112/5). We need to discuss whether or not this is something we want to do, and then there will also be a lot of work to make that comprehensive list so that it actually serves its purpose.
 - **We have an election coming up soon and any questions we would like to ask potential candidates, can be added here: https://materials.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/81/what-questions-should-we-ask-people-running-for-the-moderator-election-to-answe**. We have only 2 questions so far, whereas **[there was 16 question suggestions for the recent Drones.SE election!](https://drones.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/116/pro-tempore-moderator-election-question-suggestions)**
 - If we want extra financial support, [we can reach out to our potential sponsors](https://materials.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/94/do-our-users-want-or-not-want-this-site-to-be-sponsored). We might find that some of the tasks in this list which people here might find too tedious to do (like **creating a logo** or advertising) become easier when there's a large company supporting our initiative.
 - Our answers-to-questions ratio is currently at 1.6 and we would like to get it to 2.5 within our first 90 days of Beta. The following questions can have multiple answers, and I could easily write many of them, but I do not want to start a trend of writing several answers of the same question:
  - https://materials.stackexchange.com/q/190/5 (**Add a similar answer for basis sets, functionals, types of SCF, types of DFT, etc.**)
  - https://materials.stackexchange.com/q/392/5 (**Add other milestone developments of DFT such as density-corrected DFT, DFTB, dispersion-corrected DFT, etc.**)
  - https://materials.stackexchange.com/q/902/5 (**Add a similar answer for other software**)
  - https://materials.stackexchange.com/q/878/5 (**Add a similar answer for other software**)
  - https://materials.stackexchange.com/q/1078/5  (**Add a similar answer for other software**)
  - https://materials.stackexchange.com/q/17/5 (**Add MD, Quantum Dynamics, etc.**)
  - https://materials.stackexchange.com/q/838/5 (**There's no answers yet! Any software that can do RPA can be listed here!**)
  - https://materials.stackexchange.com/q/692/5 (**Only 3 programs have been listed, more exist though!**)
  - https://materials.stackexchange.com/q/584/5 (**It should be possible to add plenty of answers here!)
  - https://materials.stackexchange.com/q/411/5 (**There's no answers yet! I'm sure there could be many!**)

 - Finally: Only 79% of our questions are answered at this time. It would be nice to have this reach 90% within our first 90 days of Beta. Users who come here with a question, **are likely to come back** if their question actually gets answered! There is a [Community Bounty Board](https://materials.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/109/community-bounty-board) which can be used to encourage people to answer questions (so far it has only been Tyberius and I that have offered bounties there). Many of our un-answered questions seem reasonably easy to answer if we make the relevant experts aware of them. It would help if we could have some people help spread the word to get those questions answered!

**Feel free to take on any of the above tasks, and when you have you could perhaps write an answer, which I'm sure would be upvoted in appreciation for your help!**
