okay, so i guess no one else caught my post yesterday from the original WikiBlast challenge thread, so i’ll repost here:

well, maybe only 6 or so months later… but we’re only 10 away from our goal of 1000 articles in the typowiki. maybe we’ll break it today!

c’mon, just 8 more! if each person who logs on today writes 1 article (or updates one that needs fleshing out) i think we’ll finally surpass our goal. let’s do it!

hrant, your assignment (should you choose to accept it) is to touch on bouma and hybrid figures.

OK Paul, I have made my contributions :-)

go Chris! i thought you were going to go ahead and finsih up the last 8 since no one else has jumped on my challenge yet. >^P

unknown

How many left now? I can give it a shot.

there’s a little blurb on the wiki start page under the heading of Latest Wiki Entries that tells how many articles are currently in the wiki.

unknown

OK Dude, you’ve got your 1,000 now. Can I get an Amen?

I was trying to sync my 100th post with the 1,000 wiki posts but I came up one short so here is a lame post to do a Monk and even digit the numbers :-)

well, i was hoping more peeps would contribute, but thanks chris! now i can sleep soundly tonight.

unknown

Maybe more folks will go for the next marker?

You are welcome Paul.

Paul I wouldn’t know a Wiki if it walked up to me and bit me. I hope its not painful

Norbert has returned! Even if he is looking serious and professional, he just can’t help himself :-)

ChrisL

Yeah.
I’ve gotten really bored looking at my latest avatar.
It doesn’t make any sense, let alone make me smile.

BTW-

here are seven more candidates to add in Typowookie:

unknown

I wonder if there is an OpenType feature for contextual Wookie selection? I would go ape over that :-)

Aaa aaaaraah. Aahhaa.

The wookie alphabet is an easy one, it only has 3 letters. A, h and r and only the A gets a capital.

unknown

Joe, the language seems to have more phonemes than three letters would cover. See the Shyriiwook entry on Wikipedia. Also note that Wookiee has two ee’s.

God, I gotta get a life.

unknown

Yeah, but Wookies pronounce “Wookie” as Arrrahaa ahraara.

Good thing there OT contextual Wookie ligs in AGG —

How stable is the wiki section now? Because I once worked on the bouma wiki (with Forrest) but then it disappeared… Hey, maybe you can unearth it somehow?

hhp

unknown

I had written a few myself, one in particular on Otl Aicher. His name still shows up, but the content’s gone.

i tried, but i’m afraid it got zapped somehow.
