minor problem ...
they want to evict us!

the message from admin:

The contents of this wiki should be intelligible to all its users. 
This article is a candidate for deletion as it is poorly formatted. 
Also I don't understand the grammer, let alone the content.

This article appears to describe an event, but no proper explanation 
is made.

If this aritcle is not fixed it will be removed. 
Date of removal: 2004 Dec 08

so come one come all ...
and discuss/format/contribute

Discuss this at Talk:Elements of Peace. 
http://sourceryforge.org/w/Talk:Elements_of_Peace
 
the discussion thus far:

~~~

All forms of goodwill welcome

seems to me Wiki is about "grass roots" ... 
not something micromangaged from top down ... 
but something that grows from bottom up. along these lines:

"Instead of the game being developed by a game corporation, it would
be developed by multiple users donating time in sort of a wiki style,"
said Ludlow, a philosophy professor at the University of Michigan.
"This is a different picture, one in which the games would emerge in a
bottom-up kind of way. The structure wouldn't be dictated, but would
emerge from numerous people trying to extend the game space."

we have the place ... Wiki have planted a few seeds and are gathering
more ... and all that is needed is a little time to germinate them ...
provide the seedlings with nutrients ... and allow them to grow
towards the light however they will.

what we don't need is for someone to rip them out by the roots before
we get a chance to poke their heads up.

just my take.

so ... what exaclty does management require? please be specific ...

"The contents of this wiki should be intelligible to all its users."
is itself unintelligible.

we ask for your guidance and assistance ...

User:Elseware: Fair enough. What I want is proper grammer, and an
explanation of what "Elements of Peace" is.

I have no idea what you guys are taling about. What I object to is
that I and other users are in fact excluded from this as there is no
clear explanation of what the text means. I understand it may be a
work in progress, but then some covering text explaining it is in
order. My concern is that people visiting this site for the first time
look at some random pages, decide the entire site is full of nonsense
and leave, never to return.

You are advertising an event with dates, but no location. Maybe it's
online? you don't say.

I support the exchange of views and ideas different to my own. It's
how you learn and expand. But this does not represent effective
communication. It does not use proper grammer and is not even properly
marked up in the wiki.

Your text reads like it's an in-joke. That has no place on a site
intended to expand peoples ideas, it is unwelcoming and cliquey.

I know I'm being harsh, but I've read all your texts and some other
sites, and there's no adequate explanation anywhere. It's all very
pretentious.

I assume you guys have read "The cat that Walks through Walls" and
"The Number of the Beast" by Robert Heinlein? If not, you really
should. They are some of my favorite books and cover similar ideas. 

~~~

so we could use some help ...
as i am off for an extended weekend ...
and may not be back until the 8th.

maybe we can put off the landlord for a few daze, eh?

it will be what we make it guess ...
sorta, kind like Life, eh? ;)

thanks.

little message box window - so no yahoo mail access appears on the
snoop ware logs... Just a minor form of civil disobedience on my part!
