Thoughts on where this wiki could/should/will go: [[wikifuture]]. Discuss as needed. There's also some [[wiki help]]. =A guide to discussing tunings on the Internets= ===A disclaimer=== Many naysayers claim a great dichotomy between 'talking' and 'doing something'. They forget that talking IS doing //something//. From [[http://www.marxists.org/subject/education/freire/pedagogy/ch03.htm|Paolo Friere]] ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulo_Freire|Wikipedia article]]) (whom I, xenjacob, recommend), //mere// action is just as undesirable as //mere// words. ===A word of advice=== Everything said is said by someone. To gain a sensible view of what's going on, observe not only what is said but by whom it is said. This way you can be sure to commit more often the fallacy of argument from authority. ==Active discussion lists== [[http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuning/|Yahoo tuning list]] - the oldest mailing list about tuning. If you ask a good question, you will receive some good answers. A large membership means potential for a huge variety of voices, which has been sometimes squelched by over-posting by the [[tuning regulars|"regulars"]].

The emphasis is on sharing original microtonal music, which sometimes unfortunately devolves into endless tech-talk.
