Main Page
Some people are itching to place essay-type material on Wikipedia, both about Wikipedia and about other subjects. We've found that this distracts our attention from actual encyclopedia article writing.
So, add your essays here. Feel free to make personal home pages.
We are testing Magnus Manske's new PHP wiki software. Help software development: report bugs and request features.
Helpful hint: to sign your name, log in and then type ~ ~ ~ (without the spaces). When you save the page you're working on, the three tildes will be replaced with a link to your page.
