Gettin' Wikid!
As you may have already noticed, I've started playing around with the development of several new wikis on several of the sites that I run. What is a wiki, you ask? Basically, it's a website that can be easily edited by many people collectively. For more information, visit the Wikipedia article on the subject.
Here are the wikis that I'm currently working on:
1. Revolution of One. The Revolution of One now has its own domain name and website! My book is of course still my own personal creative project, but this site is a public resource that will be co-edited by all people interested in the Revolution of One.
2. The Ultima Society. This is a new online [and possibly offline] community that I am trying to create for Ultima enthusiasts. The site itself describes every aspect of Ultima.
3. Living Tapestry Tradition. This is the spiritual tradition that my Coven belongs to.
Once I've had some more practice with these, I plan on converting at least part of treesong.org into some type of wiki format. That way, you, the guest of treesong.org, will be able to contribute new information about your favorite topics here.
There's plenty of other news in my life too -- the upcoming move back to Oak Street, the Co-op's planned move, etc. But I will talk about those later, when it's not a few minutes until opening time at the Co-op... :)

Personal News; Zapatista News
I've actually got a lot going on in my life right now:
* I'm moving to a new house on or near August 1;
* the Co-op is moving in January;
* I'm getting settled into a new computer;
* I'm trying to stretch/strengthen my lower back;
* I'm responding to the news of a B12 deficiency;
* I'm gradually transferring UltimaSociety.org, my new revolutionofone.info, and possibly part or all of treesong.org to Wiki format;
* AND, as usual, I'm trying to figure out a whole host of situations and challenges both personal and political, some of which I can't get into right now .
So... yeah. Even though it doesn't seem like it sometimes on a day-to-day level, this is a very busy time in my life! But rather than get into all of that any further, I'd like to share with you some very important Zapatista news.
The Zapatistas have released their latest important communication:
SEXTA DECLARACIÓN DE LA SELVA LACANDONA [Español]
Sixth Declaration of the Selva Lacandona [English]
It's a long document, divided into three long web pages, but it's well worth the read. Even if you don't know much about the Zapatistas, this is a good read, because it's written in direct language and offers quite a bit of explanation to those who are unfamiliar with the struggle.
Later, I may try to formulate a more eloquent response to the Sixth Declaration. But in the meantime, I'm starting to fall asleep at the keyboard... :) So let me just express my solidarity with the Zapatistas and the international struggle for democracy, liberty, justice, etc. that they embody. Once again, their revolutionary efforts are a gift both to the people of Mexico and the people of the world...
If you have any responses, please feel free to contact me. And if you want more info on the Zapatistas, you can find plenty on the Internet and in a few key books and other publications. And if you want to know how all of this relates to Revolution of One, I'll be glad to talk to you about it sometime... :)
