View source for Xenharmonic Wiki:WikiProject Just Intonation

Welcome to the Just Intonation WikiProject!

; Goals
* To write quality pages about just intonation topics that do not have articles yet.
* To write quality pages about major figures in the world of just intonation and their theories and works (e.g. [[Harry Partch]], [[Erv Wilson]]).
* To expand pages about just intonation (especially stub pages and [[:Category:Pages with Scala files|Scala file pages]]) by adding more description of the subject matter.
* To add visual aids to pages about just intonation.
* To add music or sound examples to pages about just intonation.
* To add citations or sources to pages about just intonation (where appropriate).

; Scope
* This project covers all articles in the categories listed under "Categories under Jurisdiction".

== Members ==
''Names in alphabetical order by surname/username; feel free to add your name if you want to be involved.''
* [[Budjarn Lambeth]]
* [[User:Yourmusic Productions|Yourmusic Productions]]

=== Special thanks ===
* [[Nick Vuci]] for creating [https://nickvuci.github.io/ScaleCircle/ ScaleCircle]

== Open tasks ==

=== Broad/general tasks ===
* Create a high-quality, encyclopedic article for every important JI scale, JI instrument or other JI concept, rather than just stubs or unexplained tables or lists of numbers.
* Add audio examples (of JI chords, scale studies, and of course actual tracks) to as many articles as possible, to demonstrate the musical properties of JI scales and chords.
* Rectify many names of [[:Category:Pages with Scala files|Scala file pages]] that might be confusing or interfere with other uses of words.
* Establish a system to denote articles under the project's scope that demonstrate particular quality.
* Add scale circle diagrams to any JI scale pages where a scale circle diagrams makes sense (feel free to use any software to generate your diagrams; [https://nickvuci.github.io/ScaleCircle/ ScaleCircle] by [[Nick Vuci]] is recommended due to ease of use and clean visual style).

=== Tasks underway by members ===
(There is no exact time frame for these tasks as this work is being done by volunteers in their free time.)

* [[Budjarn Lambeth]] 
''(Other users besides me are welcome to help with these too!)''
** Recruit more members (especially an expert on [[Harry Partch]], an expert on [[Erv Wilson]], or an expert on [[primodality]]).
** Examine the names of all Scala file pages and rename those with confusing or ambiguous names.
** Find all examples of multiple similar Scala file pages (eg "exampletone10", "exampletone15", "exampletone_major") and merge them into scale galleries.
** Record improvisations using JI scales that have no music examples, and post those as examples on the relevant scale pages.
** Add handmade tables of intervals to pages about JI scales that have a fixed [[tonic]] (are not rotatable).
** Add all new hexany, dekany, bihexany, etc. pages to the '[[Gallery of combination product sets]]'.
** Keep 'Gallery of combination product sets' as readable and navigable as possible as it gets longer (e.g. by adding subheadings).

* [[User:Yourmusic Productions|Yourmusic Productions]]
''(Other users besides me are welcome to help with these too!)''
** Create short but quality pages for every hexany at least up to the 15-odd-limit.
*** Create short but quality pages for several bihexanies based upon these.
** Create short but quality pages for every dekany at least up to the 15-odd-limit.
** Create short but quality pages for every pentadekany at least up to the 15-odd-limit.
** Create short but quality pages for every eikosany at least up to the 15-odd-limit.
** Create tables that allow sorting hexanies, dekanies, etc. in multiple ways (odd limit, prime limit, lowest divisor, sum total, any others we think of).

=== Tasks not yet claimed by members ===
* Greatly expand the page on [[Harry Partch's 43-tone scale]].

=== Requested pages ===

=== Requested audio & images ===
* At least 1 scale circle image or any other visual aid for every page about a just intonation scale.
* At least 1 scale circle image or any other visual aid for every JI scale gallery page.
* At least 1 musical example for every page about a just intonation scale. (Any length is okay, whether 5 seconds, 5 hours, or anywhere in between.)

=== Cleanup requests ===
: ''See: [[:Category:Under review by WikiProject Just Intonation]]''

=== Proposals for future direction ===
* When [[Zhea Erose]] completes the treatise on [[primodality]], document the theory described therein (in your own words; do not plagiarise; reference specific pages so readers can learn more).

== Completed tasks ==

== Categories under jurisdiction ==
* [[:Category:Just intonation]]
** [[:Category:Just intonation chords]]
** [[:Category:Just intonation scales]] 
** [[:Category:Just intonation tracks]] 
** [[:Category:AFDO]] 
** [[:Category:Otonality and utonality]] 
** [[:Category:Primodality]] 
** [[:Category:Harmonic series]] 
* [[:Category:Pages with Scala files]]
* [[:Category:Harry Partch]]
* [[:Category:Erv Wilson]]

== Templates ==
* [[Template:Under review by WikiProject Just Intonation]] can be deployed on articles that are determined to need extra attention 
* [[Template:Navbox scale gallery]] can be deployed on scale gallery pages
* [[Template:Infobox chord]], [[Template:Infobox interval]], [[Template:Infobox AFDO]] and [[Template:Infobox IFDO]] can be deployed on pages about their respective topics 

Further templates could be considered (e.g. infoboxes, a featured article template).
