Announcing Thelemapedia

Scarlet Woman Lodge, O.T.O., proudly announces the grand opening of
Thelemapedia.org!
Thelemapedia is an open-source encyclopedia for all things related to
Thelema, including magick, religion, history, personalities,
organizations, and more. Our goal is to make Thelemapedia the single
best, most comprehensive source of information on Thelema. This is a
project based on community particpation, meaning that everyone is
welcome to add their knowledge to the encyclopedia. Thelemapedia is at
a very early stage and we need your help to get it populated!
It's easy to add content to Thelemapedia, and it only takes a few
minutes to get the hang of it. You can create new topics of your choice
(as long as they are related to Thelema in some way), and you can also
add to and edit existing articles. Yes, every member is an editor and
every page is open to editing.
We are initially inviting members and friends of O.T.O. to help us
build Thelemapedia's knowledgebase. You do not have to be a know-it-all
or a scholar to make a contribution (although know-it-all scholars are
perfectly welcome). You can write articles on those topics that you are
already familiar with or that you have an interest in researching. Many
articles are incomplete, and you might be able to fill in the missing
pieces. Use your own style of contributing-by writing entire
articles, correcting bad grammar, fact-checking, formatting, or by
sprinkling tidbits of information here and there...it's up to you and
it's all good.
Keep in mind, this isn't a good place for sensitive egos...all articles
are open to editing, and someone might reword some of your sentences or
even entire blocks of text. That's the idea of an open-source
encyclopedia. Of course, there are rules of etiquette for avoiding
content wars and the like. But for the most part, adding to and
improving existing articles is what this experiment is all about.
If you are interested, the core technology for Thelemapedia is called a
Wiki. A prime example of this is Wikipedia.org, which is a great
example of the type of editorial style we are going for.
Please come by Thelemapedia and help us get started on this exciting
experiment.
Love is the law, love under will.
