"I just had another one of my brilliant ideas..."
-- Blair Warner, constantly, on The Facts of Life. And maybe, just maybe, I
did.
OK, so remember that one entry,
where I ranted about people using encyclopedias to learn how to be heathen?
Yeah, I barely did myself. Here. This should jog your
memory.
Well, I haven't really changed
my mind. We have a vibrant world of Lore. However, sometimes it's good to have
a lot of information handy, and if done right, then that information can be very
valuable.
And so, I have an
announcement to make. What follows is the stock announcement text; feel free to
swipe it and post it elsewhere, so long as you don't violate other locations'
spam policies, or send it out to all your "friends" with threats of dire
consequences if they don't in turn send it out to 2,746 people in the next 34
seconds...
The Asawiki Project was
created in order to provide a common ground for basic information on all aspects
of Asatru and other branches of heathenry, worldwide. To further that end, a
series of wikis are being established to provide an online, user-edited
encyclopedia of that basic information, in a politically neutral
environment.
Currently,
the Asawiki is available in English and Danish. More languages will be added as
they are requested and editors who speak that language natively can be located.
To submit a request, contact admin@asawiki.com
A
few quick pointers:
1.
Information posted to the wiki should be politically neutral, verifiable, and
non-personal in nature. The idea here is the creation of an online encyclopedia
of information. Inappropriate information may be edited out without warning.
Sources should be documented, and the use of copyrighted material should be
limited to short, clearly-marked
quotations.
2. Please
familiarize yourself with the GNU Free Documentation License and other
information available at the bottom of each screen of the wiki. Those documents
describe the terms of use.
3.
Registration is not required. Anyone can edit the wiki, with or without
registering. However, registration will allow you access to certain features,
such as email notification of changes, as well as the ability to track which
articles you have edited. The privacy policy describes what information is
kept.
4. To get things
started, some basic articles and stubs have been created. Feel free to add
information to these, or create articles of your
own.
We
hope you'll help to make this project successful, and a valid contribution to
the heathen community,
worldwide. ********************************************************************* That's
really all I have to say. Please visit, and please start posting
information!
.... And I hope
this is one of MY brilliant ideas.
