TCCWiki and you (new drug information community, mycologists needed!)
    #5228476 -

Greetings,

For the last few years I have been heavily involved in the internet drug community, including moderating TCC, the drug subforum at forums.somethingawful.com for the past two years.

I, along with many members of the forum I moderate, have founded a wiki for all drug-related information. I believe that those of you involved in the Shroomery might be very interested in joining our community. Here are the main points:
  • website: http://tccwiki.com
  • Content to include all things drug and mind related: Including encyclopedic articles on shamanism, culture, neuroscienece, anthropology etc.
  • More than wikipedia because: On top of the wikipedia-like encyclopedic articles (indeed, users have copied several entire articles from Wikipedia under the auspices of the GFDL) we offer space for "subjective" drug articles (i.e. opinions, guides, tips, tricks, advice), experience reports, and technical guides - as well as our own community portal and a drug-related current events page.
  • Goals: To become a central community for the entire internet drug-researching population. I am currently working on getting the word out to the Erowid team, Bluelight, Lycaeum, etc. We are working hard to help this project grow in hopes that it might literally become the "wikipedia of drugs" and more.
  • Current state: Over 220 articles and a well-forumulated organizational structure but still really in the early phase of forming a comprehensive database. We need the help of people like you to develop this into a community of excellence.


The project is entirely run by the community. I have done a lot of work setting up the basic organizational structure and some preliminary rules but anybody who signs up is able to change essentially anything. Administrators are able to change literally everything that doesn't require root access. I suspect that many of you would make excellent contributors and administrators on the site.

Thanks for your time. I have consulted Shroomery many times for my own grow operations and think you people are doing a wonderful thing. I hope you will take the small amount of time necessary to explore what TCCWiki already has to offer, especially the various project pages, and see if you think this might be something you could get involved with. I believe the possibilities of the wiki format and the community that it might attract could lead to some astounding things. In particular, I hope you all might help with transfering some of the amazing information about mycology from this site to our wiki. New mycology guides and articles on any topic are always welcome. Individual authors are welcome to dual license their already completed guides under the GFDL (on top of the CC license used here) to have it hosted on the wiki if interested.

I'm happy to respond to questions and concerns in this thread. I know some people have reservations about the wiki format; nonetheless this project has great potential. We have systems in place for vandalism already and I firmly believe that if enough people jump on board we will be able to handle absolutely any hiccups along the way.

Namaste,
Matthew Cohen

Erowid is wonderful indeed. What TCCWiki does is combine libraries of information like erowid and wikipedia with the community involvement and discussion of a forum such as this one. :smile:

Does anything think there would be merit to posting this in another forum here? I'd like to talk about it with people on Shroomery but this subforum doesn't seem too interested.

Try Mushroom Cultivation, they might move it but at least some mycoligists will see it. Or maybe Psychedelic Experience.

I think it's a great idea that you and your people are making an effort to spread useful information through out the community.

Hopefully there will be more responses in the other subforums.

Good question. We don't have a privacy policy posted yet but I suppose I ought to add that. I'm certainly never going to willingly give out any information from the server, and the hosting company has a similar policy.

I'm not quite sure what you're afraid of though. Posting informative articles in no way implicates you as actually practicing any of the things you post. You are by no means compelled to post experience reports or personal stories if you don't want to. The primary purpose of this project is information.

This is an excellent idea.

Erowid seems overwhelmed at times due to its limited faculty and presumably immense amount of data, such as thousands of trip reports.

The Shroomery is too informal, and sometimes has incorrect information.

Wikipedia usually works, but often is too objective, when drug informatoin needs to include the subjective experience.

If we can combine the strong points of all three, then a Wiki for all drugs may work out well.

So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.

It seems you have a good sense of my vision with this Ravus. Please make an account and make some contributions when you have the time! Maybe I'll post this in mushroom cultivation as well, to see if any more technically oriented people want to write guides for the site.

TCC is a good knowledgeable forum i used to lurk in it when you could actually read it on the forums till it was blocked to nonpaying users.

i'm bumping to say.. i was reading the 2c-e article when it appeared on the front page of tccwiki today.. and as i scrolled through the synthesis i noticed..

"A total of 120 mL of 1.0 M solution of LAH in THF (120 mL of 1.0 M) was transferred to a 3 neck 500 mL flask, under an inert atmosphere with good magnetic stirring. This solution was cooled to °C with an external ice-water bath,"




are all the synthesis crippled?
