Support for science of the soul wiki
Thanks, John, for starting this wiki. Science of the soul as related by the WingMakers and Lyricus Material has held my attention for several years now. Hopefully this wiki can concentrate on the many scientific areas without losing sight of the purpose of "the irrefutable scientific discovery of the soul." Who knows what else will be learned on the way?

One of the predictions of the WingMakers is that the discovery of the human soul, also known as the Grand Portal, will shift the human consciousness and create a shift in the fundamental social structures of humanity. This is an exciting goal for me even if, as John says, the ideas and theories we come up with may be proved wrong along the way. Hopefully then we can and will move on to new ideas and theories and continue exploring what it is that makes us believe in the things we beleive. Tonnie

=Plans= I have been investigating some options for a wiki where we could explore soul science. One option would be to join an existing wiki, but none of the existing wikicities seems to be a good match. Right now, I am thinking about ways to generalize the topic so that the new wiki will attract enough interested participants. Maybe there should be a new wiki that covers all protoscience and all fringe science. I think science of the soul could fit under this umbrella. JWSchmidt 19:04, 3 Apr 2005 (EDT)

I put the idea of a protoscience wiki on this discussion page:.

Request for a Protoscience wiki submitted: "The Protoscience wiki will be a tool for use by anyone who is interested in the process by which protosciences mature into accepted subdisciplines within the scientific community. The Protoscience wiki will make use of accepted methods of scientific study and attempt to identify new methods that will allow protosciences to become more integrated into conventional science."

 * Protoscience is online. JWSchmidt 20:47, 5 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Welcome to RLS
Great, great, great. Would like to be a participant in a RealLifeSoap:? You do know people who would love to? Dedalus 09:25, 10 Apr 2005 (EDT)


 * It looks like the wiki reality project could be fun. Is there a mission beyond creating the wiki and having fun? JWSchmidt 12:46, 10 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Speedy deletion
I see. Thanks for fixing that for me! :) 15:24, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks a lot for your constructive comments on wikicities and sexuality. Your thoughts are most reasonable. I'll be waiting for Jimmy's reply and hope he'll give me a 'go'. --Spankart 23:20, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I hope you do not have long to wait. I'm not sure how accessible he is. JWSchmidt 05:43, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wikitours
Hello again, John. Seems to be only a small number of us interested in joining TourBusStop: http://www.wikicities.com/index.php?title=Wikicities:TourBusStop&action=history

Is that page now accessible from the Meatball organisation? Its format looks as if it's intended to be, but it says "under construction". I've added a paragraph of early pages from a few wikicities tours to give a little more immediate variety of choice for visitors from Meatball. That's probably a logical way to show such people around WC, rather than (as Angela noted) addiing all 300+ WCs to a list or adding WCs individually to Meatball tours.

Kind regards - Robin Patterson 01:56, 20 Sep 2005 (EDT)
 * Thanks for all your work on tours and the bus stop. I'm glad you noticed the "protoscience" and changed it; I had just copied the bus stop from here.

Article in Meta Collab
Hi JWSchmidt - I'd love you to start an article on wikiversity in Meta Collab's education category - I think that would be a fantastic contribution! Let me know if I can help at all. Mark Elliott 04:24, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Intro to education in Meta Collab?
Hi John, just wondering if you might be interested in writing a few quick lines for the 'Collaboration in Education' introduction on the education category page? The text itself would live on the AboutEducation template. Seems like you've got a good grasp of the subject. cheers --Mark Elliott 22:31, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Good work on Wikiversity
Hi John, great work on the Wikiversity page on Meta Collab. I'd like to talk more about your ideas on the project - do you have an up to date IRC client? Cormaggio 13:32, 30 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * reply on your page --JWSchmidt 20:41, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Aha! Well, I just use a Mac myself (for which I use both Snak and, mostly, Colloquy) so no, I can't recommend a good client for windows. A Wikipedia check gives MIRC amongst others at List_of_IRC_clients. The reason I ask is I'd like to have a brief (at first) chat about what your visions for Wikiversity (and your course specifically) are, and possibly what you would like to explore within it. I'll be up-front - I need to interview someone for a recorded twenty minute session, (on anything, for a course on interviewing) but I thought I'd make it both practical and interesting, and I thought of you. No pressure - honestly - just wondering if you have the time and/or inclination to take part. Let me know (and if so, when good times are etc.) Thanks. Cormaggio 00:41, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * reply on your page --JWSchmidt 02:05, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I've never used iChat, but it's set up on my computer (no camera though). But I'm okay with either iChat or IRC - the only thing is that you can keep a log of an IRC chat (which i need to find out how to do - or is this possible with iChat?) Timewise - maybe Friday, since I'm here all day - anytime between, say, 6 and 9pm would be fine for me (thats 11am-2pm for you) - would that be ok? Maybe early would be better? By the way, did you see my mail about Wikiversity to the foundation-l list at all? --Cormaggio 00:34, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)


 * reply on your page. --JWSchmidt 17:14, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm at #cormaggio on IRC Freenode whenever you're ready. Sorry for not confirming this beforehand. Cormaggio 17:57, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for doing this, John - you'll find the log (for now) at m:User:Cormaggio/Wikiversity_chat_04Nov2005. Also see Learning community for ideas. Cormaggio 01:09, 5 Nov 2005 (UTC)
