=== Special thanks ===

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

* [[Lériendil]] for bringing to my attention the relative under-exploration of [[xenharmonic]] just intonation theory (compared to xenharmonic temperament theory) on the wiki as of 2025

== Open tasks ==

=== Broad ===

=== 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.

Line 39:

Line 28:

* 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).

~~=== Specific ===~~

* Greatly expand the page on [[Harry Partch's 43-tone scale]].

=== 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 ===

Line 64:

Line 59:

* 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.)
