Wikis (of which this is one) are websites where anyone can edit virtually any page. For this site, it means an opportunity for Joe Frank's fans to work together to catalog his shows.  The result?  There will hopefully be many results. Here are our goals:


----
*Catalog Joe's work.
*Serve as an accurate and reliable resource anyone can refer to (and improve) to learn more about Joe Frank and what to expect when listening to a particular show.
*Introduce newcomers to Joe Frank and increase the audience for his work.
*Be an evolving resource for answering questions like:
**"Where did I hear this sequence before?"
**"What is this crazy song Joe is using?"
**"Which of Joe's shows are appropriate for introducing new listeners?"
**"Which shows contain [[:Category:Absurd Monologue|absurd monologue]]/[[:Category:Serious Monologue|serious monologue]]/[[Jack Kornfield]]/[[Larry Block]]/...?"
*Provide a forum for [[The_Joe_Frank_Wiki:Commentary|subjective analysis]] and [[The Joe Frank Wiki talk:Chatter|discussion]] related to Joe's work.
*Operate in a manner supportive of Joe's intellectual property rights.




Wikis are pretty neat. You can edit almost any page, very easily.  Please do not edit a page just for no reason, but you are ''most'' welcome to make improvements to this site--that's what a wiki is all about! If you would like to play around with editing to see what it is like, you are most welcome to play in the [[WikiSpblat:Sandbox|sandbox]].

Thanks for visiting the Joe Frank Wiki

Wikis (of which this is one) are websites where anyone can edit virtually any page. For this site, it means an opportunity for Joe Frank's fans to work together to catalog his shows. The result? There will hopefully be many results. Here are our goals:

  • Catalog Joe's work.
  • Serve as an accurate and reliable resource anyone can refer to (and improve) to learn more about Joe Frank and what to expect when listening to a particular show.
  • Introduce newcomers to Joe Frank and increase the audience for his work.
  • Be an evolving resource for answering questions like:
  • Provide a forum for subjective analysis and discussion related to Joe's work.
  • Operate in a manner supportive of Joe's intellectual property rights.


What this site needs most is a dedicated group of contributors. For an account, please email me (Ramon) with your preferred user name. I will create an account for you. I have found this to be the only reliable way to prevent spam edits.

Then read our Style Guide, then have a look at Higher Learning, a good example of how a program page can be structured. Then browse over to the to-do list, or simply pick a random page and dig in!

To experience editing a page on a wiki risk free, go play in the sandbox, which is a special page where it's perfectly acceptable to edit and change content for no reason except to play and learn. There is a user's guide to editing pages, but for those not into manuals, click the "Edit" link at the top of any page to look at the syntax of the text that goes into wiki formatting and learn the tricks as you go along.
