If you think something essential was forgotten and should be here, don’t be shy to add a new section here! If you don’t know if a project would be interesting to others, [[Xenharmonic Wiki talk:Things to do|write at the talk page]] and let’s decide it together.

== Transfer from riters.com ==
There are still a couple of pages at [https://web.archive.org/web/20050503032508/http://riters.com:80/microtonal/ http://riters.com/microtonal] that could be copied over if we want this to be the one true wiki. [[User:Xenjacob|zenjacob]] ([[User talk:Xenjacob|talk]] 21:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
: Warning: That site is very old! [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 07:44, 19 September 2018 (UTC)


== Fill out the scale catalogue ==
Sources for this: all the Yahoo! lists, the Scala archive, original reflection on new and old scales, pages of X.J. Scott, David Finnamore, Tonalsoft...? Have at least one sound example (midi, mp3, ogg...) for each scale, and keep in mind that this wiki allows you to upload files up to 5 MB each.

Ever since learning about the [[MOSScales|MOS scales]] I have desired but not seen a good, thorough introduction to them, or to the two-dimensional method of creating scales. [[User:Xenjacob|zenjacob]] ([[User talk:Xenjacob|talk]] 21:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

== An FAQ: everyone posts questions, answers ==
This could be sufficiently primed by mining the lists. But more importantly it would need to be linked to by a high-search-engine-ranking page. [[User:Xenjacob|zenjacob]] ([[User talk:Xenjacob|talk]] 21:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 
: '''Update!''' This has now existed for some time, it is at: [[FAQ]].
 
: There are many unanswered questions there though, so please post your answers.
 
: And if you have questions, please ask them there because I bet others have the same question too but are shy and hoping someone will ask.

== Add image annotations ==
Could you install this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Gadget-ImageAnnotator/Installation so we can add annotations to diagrams, like labeling chords in [[:File:Consonance map, triads, sawtooth waves.png]] ?

Requesting interwiki for <code>https://www.yacavone.net/xen-calc/?q=$1</code>. These links are used by [[Template:Infobox Interval]] and captchas are annoying.

== More sound examples ==
We should really add some sound examples - it makes regular wikipedia and other xen websites much more comprehensible/easily digestable.

A lot of comma pages have no examples demonstrating how commas can be used to build chord progressions, scales, etc., so '''please add comma pump examples!''' A good example is [[frameshift comma]].
