• {What parts/aspects of the wiki are most in need of improvement?)} and

• "What improvements do they need? How would you like the see them improved?}. The parts of the Xenharmonic Wiki about other cultures need major improvement.  In some cases, the first improvement they need is to exist at all, such as the music of Janap, China, and surrounding nations.  Some of the sections about non-Western music do exist, but are pretty minimal and/or lump together different traditions within the same region (for instance, Africa).  Even the Middle-Eastern music page could use a good deal of expansion.

• {What parts/aspects of the Xenharmonic Wiki do you find the most useful?} The Xenharmonic Wiki excels at presentation of equal divisions of the octave (and to a lesser extent, equal divisions of other intervals) and a fair subset of the linear and planartemperaments, although the linear and planar temperament and ESPECIALLY the well-temperament and scale pages could stand to have more usage examples and other explanation, and could stand to have their format made to present the same information in more compact form (a LOT of the space is devoted to repeats of the same information for incremental extensions, which can make it hard to find what you are looking for).  The focus is overly on equal temperaments and not enough on other temperaments, with even coverage of historical Western non-equal/non-linear temperaments being fairly minimal.

• {What parts/aspects of the Xenharmonic Wiki do you think are the best or worst? Examples of good or bad articles?}  If you want a prize-winner among the bad articles, that has got to be the article on Wedgies -- I never could figure that one out, and I don't think most other people could either.  The article on computing Badness is somewhat better but unfortunately points to things that are hard to pick up, like the article on Wedgies, which despite being deprecated is apparently still a core dependency for such articles.

• {What do you usually use the wiki for (if anything)?} This is a great reference site (although with some frustrating obtuse regions like the article on Wedgies and things like Badness that depend on Wedgies).  Great for looking up tuning systems and temperaments, and the Lumatone mappings would be a treasure trove for people who have that or another large hexagonal generalized keyboard (but putting too much dependence upon one vendor is risky -- need to branch out to support layouts for other microtonal-capable keyboards, for which support is currently extremely spotty).

• {What is the biggest problem with the wiki?}  See above for areas that need to be ironed out.

• {What is the biggest strength/positive of the wiki?}. Accessible (except for the above-noted bad spots), with a large breadth of information (although the parts about the music of other cultures badly need expansion).
