This wiki differs from most others in one important respect. Contributors, please --

Don't try to open new entries! But you can suggest them.

For legal reasons, only DD can write and post whole entries on this wiki. This is because the Errantry Concordance will eventually be a book in print, and the future publisher is almost certain to require that all the material in it be copyright to DD.

The ability to create new entries has therefore been locked down. But readers are very welcome to suggest or nominate an entry that they'd like to see written. You can do that at this page: the Refrigerator Door.

Additionally, registered wiki users will of course be able to comment on entries in each entry's "discussion" section, as well as their own talk pages: and users are invited to drop notes ont DD's talk page to alert her to things that need to be handled.

Thanks for your understanding!

-I know that the basic nature of a wiki is to be collaborative, and to encourage give-and-take. This one, though, isn't going to be run that way. (Another wiki, which I'll be starting up over at YW.net in the near future, will be run more along collaborative lines.)

-All the pages here are going to be locked so that only I can edit them.  Also, for the moment -- until I get a clearer sense of how to manage security in here -- new-user registrations are disabled: if I enable them later, it'll be so structured that interested parties will need to contact the YW.com webmaster by email. When things change, I'll post something on the main page to indicate as much.
