Thoughts on where this wiki could/should/will go: [[wikifuture]]. Discuss as needed. =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]] (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 who says it. ==Active discussion lists== [[http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuning/|Yahoo tuning list]] - the oldest mailing list about tuning.
