New Members
I've been recruiting new members. Generally, they're people whose judgement I trust. They also tend to be good writers or very organized people. I've asked them to not broadcast the existance of the wiki just yet, but to feel free to tell a friend or two if they think they'll be interested in contributing.
At the moment, my list of invitees includes Briana the Bard from Seagirt, Yolande Chastellain, Laurin of Rosewood, Melissa Kendal, and Sister Guineth.
Oh, and I've sent notes to both the Crown and the Kingdom Seneschal letting them know we exist. It was only polite.

Don't forget that nosy guy that set up the software. ;)
--Krenn
Yeah, well he just sorta barged in and made himself at home. (Feet off the coffee table please, Krenn? Thanks.) :-) Invite Jean-Louis in too, wouldja Krenn?
Add Kalhja to the list of people I've recruited. (Probably brutally mis-spelled...) She says she has to check with her soon-to-be-peer, but also that she's been talking about doing an An Tir History website for the last four years.
Ditto Sister Guineth the White, who has some terrific stories from early An Tir on her website. At the very least I'll make sure they're linked in to the site.

When Should We Open Our Doors?
When should we announce the Wiki to the Kingdom and invite the entire populace to contribute? --Elizabeth Braidwood 15:32, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Locking Down the Main Page
Should we restrict access to the Main page, or leave it open? --Elizabeth Braidwood
Aveloc R&D page
We know this is going to be a controversial issue, so I've gone ahead and asked Groa to write up her/Aveloc's side of the story. Does anyone have a recommendation as to who we should ask to write up the alternate view? In an ideal world, we'll be able to merge the two stories into a single article in a neutral voice. If that proves undoable, I propose we simply publish the two stories side-by-side and then stand back and carefully monitor any subsequent page changes.
As a starting point, I've created a personal page for Aveloc the Younger which contains pointers to an Aveloc R&D page as well as to pages for his two reigns.

User identification
Do we want any kind of requirement that people create the accounts with their SCA names, and describe themselves on their user pages?
If we don't, I could envision "Joebob" coming along and editing some page, which gets reverted because nobody knows who they are, and it turns out to be some old duke that was putting in their own information. --Krenn
