== Projects involving this wiki ==
=== WikiProjects ===
'''WikiProjects''' are major ongoing initiatives to improve key areas of the wiki. They are similar to Wikipedia {{w|WikiProjects}}.
* [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Wikifuture|Wikifuture]], for general long-term plans for the wiki.
* [[Xenharmonic Wiki:WikiProject TempClean|WikiProject TempClean]], for the cleanup of our deluge of regular temperament articles.
* [[Xenharmonic Wiki:WikiProject Mospage|WikiProject Mospage]], for a similar cleanup effort for MOS-related articles
=== Other projects involving the Xen Wiki community ===
Smaller in scope than WikiProjects, but still well worth a look.
* [[ProgressReport]]: tell your story!
* [[MMMMonth07|MMMMonth07]] — a proposal/brainstorm that wasn't acted upon.
* [[Porcupine_Album_Project|Porcupine Album Project]] (2012)
* [[The Enigma Assignment]]: resulted in much original music

* [[User:SAKryukov#Microtonal_Music_Study_using_specialized_chromatic_keyboards_and_Web_Audio_API|Microtonal Music Study using specialized chromatic keyboards and Web Audio API]], a set of microtonal electronic keyboard instruments implementing different microtonal systems and build on the common platform, Web-browser based, with the embedded instrument sound synthesis based on Web Audio API. The instruments are played on a 10-finger touchscreen, but also can be played with a mouse/touchpad and, in some cases and to a limited extent, on a computer keyboard. There is an application for the development of the synthesized instrument sound; the result of the synthesis can be used by all the instruments.
