Expect this site to grow organically from here. There is alot of content here already, imported from the old [[NemWiki]], so hit the [[Special:Random|Random Page]] link and see if you get something that needs integrating into new Thorx.

This is a [[WikiWorkshop|Wiki-as-Workshop]], intended to grow organically (albiet slowly so far), and randomly. What is it for?

* A placeholder for random notes.

* A drafting site for the [[ThorxBlog]]

So, please feel free to jump in and create/edit as you see the need. A note though - the aim is that ThorxWiki content will be "professional" in styling. Humour is appreciated and encouraged, but mindless joking is best moved to [[NemWiki]]. Speaking of NemWiki, a lot of the content here has been imported from the original NemWiki and still needs moving to the new one, so hit the [[Special:Random|Random Page]] link and see if you get something that needs updating. Also, alot of the original NemWiki content was written from Nemo's first-person perspective and uncredited. These should either be refactored to be third person perspective, or credited appropriately.

Note that most content is managed by [[Nemo]], so any first-person opinions which are uncredited will be his. This style may change over time depending on the usage of this site. Ultimately, this *is* a wiki, with all the 'anyone can edit' that is implied...

Welcome to Thorx Wiki. A place for idea mongering and collaborative invention.

This is a Wiki-as-Workshop, intended to grow organically (albiet slowly so far), and randomly. What is it for?

  • A placeholder for random notes.
  • A drafting site for the ThorxBlog
  • Archive ground for writings and ideas

So, please feel free to jump in and create/edit as you see the need. A note though - the aim is that ThorxWiki content will be "professional" in styling. Humour is appreciated and encouraged, but mindless joking is best moved to NemWiki. Speaking of NemWiki, a lot of the content here has been imported from the original NemWiki and still needs moving to the new one, so hit the Random Page link and see if you get something that needs updating. Also, alot of the original NemWiki content was written from Nemo's first-person perspective and uncredited. These should either be refactored to be third person perspective, or credited appropriately.

ThorxWiki is not as policy-driven as Wikipedia, but aims to respect copyright.

[edit] Current Headline Pages

“
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking.

Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

”
—Christopher Morley


[edit] Idea stubs

Selected picks of our newpages, brand new to Thorx, and still cooking. Jump in and help them grow!

  • And don't forget that there are often pages created and unlinks... find them on the orphan pages

[edit] Best of the rest

  • Mentok - A unique cardgame unlike any other (note: has passing similarity to Go Fish and Blackjack)
  • Taasen - How to play this boardgame online
  • NIPL - A new way of creating playlists
  • NEWS - A new wiki centered around existing revision tools, and utilising a better markup

[edit] Older Thorx

Reminder... ThorxWiki is descendant from an earlier 'NemWiki'. Many of the original ideas are still on the NemWiki page, awaiting a revisit, polish, and update to ThorxWiki standards, or moving to the new NemWiki. Please be encouraged to visit the NemWiki page and followup ideas there :)
