| There has not been a successful tuning wiki...yet. But this shall try to be. Here's what Jacob wrote about the idea a year ago on [[http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/MakeMicroMusic/|MMM]]:

| |
| * lists of downloadable microtonal sounds and CD's, and perhaps discussion and criticism.
| |
| * a catalogue of scales that people like, or have composed in, or have created. and discussion, sound examples of them.
| |
| * one thing a wiki is great for, an FAQ. Everyone posts questions, answers.

| There's one at [[http://riters.com/microtonal/|riters]], but I think it's ugly. So let's try this one, shall we?</pre></div>
