==Welcome to the Xenharmonic Wiki!==
 
The xenharmonic wiki is an open resource for information about [[musical tuning]]. This includes information about systems of tuning, the relationships between those systems, and the theory and math behind them. 
 
This wiki is created by volunteers. It is a work in progress, and depends on members of the community to help us develop it. Relevant new content is always welcome. You can get the hang of editing in the [[SandBox]], then dive right in. [[wiki help|Wiki Help]] provides some tips as well. [[Wikifuture]] is a wish list of sorts.
 
'''Remember that this wiki is a work in progress!''' There are '''many''' new pages that need to be created, and old ones that need to be finished or updated. If you see a way to make something better, please feel free to sign up and help contribute!
