[pynchonoid]

It's pretty easy - click "edit" on any page you want
to edit, then start typing, use an existing entry as a
template if necessary, very self-explanatory, even I
was able to figure it out without asking for extra
help.

That's the danger, of course - that it's so easy to
edit. At some future moment, it's easy to imagine
people bombing it the way they do Pynchon-l from time
to time.

The pynchowiki is also very much a work in progress,
and as such some kinks need to be worked out, no
doubt.  It's a good thing that some people are working
hard at that already, while a few folks just stand
back and start throwing rocks in response to the offer
of a resource and an opportunity to contribute -- it
remains true, no good deed goes unpunished on
Pynchon-l.
