Welcome!
Welcome to the wiki. A few explanations are probably in order.
Pardon the security
First, we're not as open as we'd like. Thanks to the prevalence of link spammers and our volunteer nature—who has time for spambot hunting?—this is currently a semi-closed site. Please contact us if you'd got stuff to upload and we'll send you a key. Better yet, if you're able to secure a wiki (know how to configure the Spam Blacklist extension?) or have extensive web design experience to share, tell us how and help us figure out how we can skip the login step.
Finding stuff
Projects on the wiki
Let's make a book: dekalborama.com is seeking contributors to a compilation of Neoteric Ensemble artifacts and memorabilia, working title Ephemera. If you're a Neoteric alum or collector, or have something to say regarding the Ensemble, you can help this project attain critical mass: have a look at progress on the wiki and contact us for details.
Relâche video project: Getting video working on the wiki—especially in a way any member can readily use—turned out to be a month-long endeavor. But at last we have clips from the grainy document—recorded live in 1986 on a much re-used VHS tape—converted to MPEG-4 and Flash and playing on most browsers.
Site launch and mission status: Getting any site off the ground is complicated. Things are planned and some of them happen, while other things happen, some of them planned. We've posted a list of things done and those needing doing, and are glad to report that we still seem to be gaining altitude.
