* Explanations of abstract concepts should use visualizations and examples where possible (They help even in more mathy contexts).

* Improve presentation of regular temperament tunings on temperament pages.

** Have dropdown tables of intervals in the MOS/generator chain, alongside clear JI interpretations each interval has if any. Maybe we can have a script to automatically generate tables like that, given a temperament's mapping matrix. Then there would be no reason to teach people to read mapping matrices.

** Linear algebra data such as mapping matrix and badness should be hidden under a dropdown view.

** Have ScaleWorkshop links for MOSes (perhaps only for MOSes with 5 to 10 notes?)

* Scales of size 5 to 10 should be given extra attention on the wiki.

* Collaborative work on the [[User:IlL/Introduction to RTT|Practical RTT]] series for teaching regular temperament theory (RTT) while using linear algebra terms as little as possible. While [[Mike's Lectures On Regular Temperament Theory|Mike's lectures]] were no doubt valuable to some people, they would have effectively involved teaching a whole course on theoretical linear algebra.

* <s>Collaborative work on the [[User:IlL/Introduction to RTT|Practical RTT]] series for teaching regular temperament theory (RTT) while using linear algebra terms as little as possible.

** Maybe there's no need to even teach people to use x31eq or read mapping matrices.

Further proposals coming.
