Mo's done a great job of setting it up, but the point here is to have the Lupine mob collaborate on this. Plus, it's kind of fun to do. -- Dan'l Danehy-Oakes, writer, trainer, bon vivant ----- http://www.livejournal.com/users/sturgeonslawyer http://www.danehyoakes.com Soon, where Toon Town once stood will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food.

Right now, we seem to be just getting in the basic factual content. One thing I initiated is putting an "editions" section under each book (I'm not sure if they're there for the books I haven't worked on), so anyone having an edition not so far listed is particularly asked for information. Also, neither Mo nor I has any of the rarer collections ("Young Wolfe," "Bibliomen,' etc.), so anyone who has those and can enter the contents -- it would be greatly appreciated. Then once that's done, the fun stuff begins -- we can start working on plot summary, interpretation, relations to other works, references to other works (including other writers), etc. Though I guess the one thing does not have to be finished before the other starts. > (One thing I noticed: Under "Standalone Novels" the publication date > of Pirate Freedom is listed as 1997.) That appears to be fixed now. -- Dan'l Danehy-Oakes, writer, trainer, bon vivant ----- http://www.livejournal.com/users/sturgeonslawyer http://www.danehyoakes.com Soon, where Toon Town once stood will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food.

At the moment we've just been working on getting the bibliography / list of resources up and established. My feeling is that it needs a few more people involved, and a consensus about what the project's objectives are, before we can generate a proper task list. (FWIW, my own main objective would be to have a place to capture the main interpretations, explanations, theories, debates etc from this list in a more convenient form than an email archive provides. So, for example, we've recently had a bunch of good stuff posted about the new story Unrequited Love -- I'd like to see a wiki page summarizing the various interesting points made, so that when I come to read the story again in the future, I have an easy recourse to what people have said about it.) > > (One thing I noticed: Under "Standalone Novels" the publication > > date of Pirate Freedom is listed as 1997.) > That appears to be fixed now. There are probably other such errors, though, as we typed in a good deal of data pretty quickly, so if anyone spots anything do say (or dive in and fix it yourself), best, Mo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Matthew Groves — 05 Jul 2007, 22:57 follows, by subject match Mo Holkar / UKG > (FWIW, my own main objective would be to have a place to capture the > main interpretations, explanations, theories, debates etc from this > list in a more convenient form than an email archive provides. [...]) Seconded. Also, I think secondary reading lists and links might be useful, both for individual stories/novels (e.g., relevant sections of Herodotus' Histories for Soldier, or links to information on Attis for There Are Doors) and for a general background on understanding Wolfe (e.g., perhaps, The White Goddess, or The Golden Bough). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ JWillard — 06 Jul 2007, 18:02 in reply to Dan'l Danehy-Oakes > Dan'l Danehy-Oakes wrote: > Hey, > > We're beginning to build some content on the WolfeWiki at > http://www.holkar.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=WolfeWiki.Contents and > it would be great if a couple more people joined in at this point -- we're > moving toward critical mass, but could use help in achieving it. > Mo's done a great job of setting it up, but the point here is to have > the Lupine mob collaborate on this. > > Plus, it's kind of fun to do. > > How does one register?

Sorry, the instructions are kind of tucked away: http://www.holkar.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Admin.Editing Basically, tell me the username and password you want, and I'll add you as a user.
