/u/d3rr, Would you mind re-adding me as mod to /s/TrutherTop20s, or add me to wiki-editors , or just open its wiki up to all? Sorry, thanks.

I'm hoping more folks might participate in these two projects, TNCC and TT20, when imported to WikiSpooks with their active team and their clever database thing (that I have yet to learn and master).

I'm waiting for /u/Robin to make the first introductory post on /s/Wikispooks before I start going nuts with stuff - questions, community building, wish lists, features, drafting tutorials, etc. WikiSpooks is already fanfuckingtastic, and with enough explaining and understanding of how the WS wiki works I hope it might become the wiki resource we've been hoping for, including expanding content beyond just deep politics - to include alt solutions, user vanity pages, user projects, user essays, user media, etc etc etc.

FYI, Yesterday I discovered the TNCC I mirrored to IG in September (before I lost the internet for a month) wasn't finished to my horror. Now it's fixed. I'd recommended it to my two young cousins, now in Scotland and hope those girls will join SaidIt - plus an ex-girlfriend in Ontario is keen too. They're all worried about the confusing world. They're all normies and hopefully they can help us refine and improve these introductory resources, and maybe even participate and/or spread the word.
