=A guide to discussing tunings on the Internets=
 
===A disclaimer===
 
Many naysayers claim a great dichotomy between 'talking' and 'doing something'. They forget that talking IS doing //something//. From [[http://www.marxists.org/subject/education/freire/pedagogy/ch03.htm|Paolo Friere]] (whom I, xenjacob, recommend), //mere// action is just as undesirable as //mere// words.
 
===A word of advice===
 
Everything said is said by someone. To gain a sensible view of what's going on, observe not only what is said but who says it.
 
==Active discussion lists==
 
[[http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuning/|Yahoo tuning list]] - the oldest mailing list about tuning. If you ask a good question, you will receive some good answers. A large membership means potential for a huge variety of voices, which has been sometimes squelched by over-posting by the [[tuning regulars|"regulars"]].
 
[[http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuning-math/|Yahoo tuning-math list]] - An outgrowth of [tuning], a haven for the math-savvy. Much of [[contemporary temperament theory]] was developed by people here.
 
[[http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/MakeMicroMusic/|Yahoo MakeMicroMusic list]] - Another outgrowth of [tuning], in the direction of, let's hear some music! The emphasis is on sharing original microtonal music, which sometimes unfortunately devolves into endless tech-talk.
 
[[http://www.nonoctave.com/forum/|nonoctave forum]] - A forum on XJ Scott's website, frequented by some of the more hermit-prone microtonalists.
