* [[Mousemambo/Indian music]]. Replace the existing article "[[Indian]]" which, by the way, has a bizarre and dismaying page title. Provide some history and current usage of tuning selections in the various branches of Indian music, and links to outside information.

* Add some "how to" information for people just beginning their journey, either as additions to existing pages or by creating new ones as appropriate. E.g. How to use tuning files, how to select which ones, how to get your electronic or software instrument to use one.

* Category: Tuning mechanisms. Probably not that category name, but something that would encompass all articles about how electronic instruments are made to adhere to alternative (non-12-EDO) tunings. "Practical tuning" or "Tuning practices" or "Tuning practice" perhaps? I note that the current [[:Category:Tuning|Category:Tuning]] is about the theoretical side and not at all the practical side. However, it might instead be best to stick everything in there, practical and theoretical, although that's not the direction I currently lean toward.

** [[:Category:Guides|Category:Guides]]

** [[:Category:Software|Category:Software]]

** [[:Category:Practice|Category:Practice]]

** [[:Category:Tuning technique|Category:Tuning technique]] ~~is supposed to~~ redirect to Category:Regular temperament tuning ([[Category:Regular temperament tuning|Category:Regular temperament tuning]] ~~link should~~ be ~~in here~~) ~~but isn't.~~

** [[:Category:Tuning technique|Category:Tuning technique]] (a soft redirect to [[:Category:Regular temperament tuning|Category:Regular temperament tuning]], but oth [[Category:Regular temperament tuning|Category:Regular temperament tuning]] erwise would be an attractive category for all tuning file and closely related pages)

* [[List of music software|'''List of music software''']]. Good page with ongoing maintenance activity. Linked to from the [[Main Page]] in the "Practical xenharmonics" section, as a "Useful tools" redirect.

* [[List of microtonal software plugins|'''List of microtonal software plugins''']]. Very important page at this time (August 2023), well maintained with updates. Linked to from the [[Main Page]] in the "Practical xenharmonics" section, as a "Useful tools" redirect.
