Future:Area template

It would be useful if all articles on specific areas followed a similar structure.

The goal of area articles is to give a brief overview of the topic. There are already very detailed articles and sites elsewhere, the advantage of reading pages on this wiki may be the concise structure and high information density.


 * Introduction - a definition and a very brief general explanation
 * History - major milestones and developments explained in a free-text form
 * Current state - what is already being done, what is already possible (today)
 * Ongoing projects - what research and development is being done
 * Ultimate possibilities - what will be possible eventually. It's not a problem if it goes much farther than the real ongoing projects.
 * Timeframe - to finish it. A graphical timeline such as in Reproduction

The reproduction article roughly follows this structure, but is not finished.

Links suggestions:
 * Include references liberally. It makes sense to include every source that is used. They can be included after a particular fact or in the end of the article.
 * One or two external links to definitive sites can be included in the end
 * Links to other articles on this wiki should be inserted a lot. Links to wikipedia may be included, when they are useful.
