Should we post some guidelines for understanding famous works in wiki?

[Joshua Yu]

I mean to put them in the wiki. I think it would be meaningful if we include some basic introductions to several famous works, including background history, how to understand, explanations for each movement, etc.

[MaestroX]

By all means yes. I think its extremely important, and will also well students if they are studying particular works.

How is the longevity of information added here perpetuated?

[Thorolf]

Everything on the internet is preserved, one way or another, through archives, thewaybackmachine, Google Caches etc., so I reformulate your question to what I think you mean:

How can I assure that the gems I drop into this box will be generally available as advertised for an extended period of time. I don’t want to waste my stuff!

Easy, you can’t. All relatively small things on the internet can have their whiff of glory, and then suddenly, a core person has to give real life priority, and poof goes the site…

The only thing we can say to assure you, is to look around on the board, check apparent solidity, check the project, and decide whether you want to play the lottery by adding your stuff. All quality entries enhance the possibility of the project’s survival, beyond the four years of stability that the site owner, MaestroX, will experience starting a four year course in composition the next term.

Myself believe in quality, and I find a lot of quality posting around here. Hence, I bother to mod here.
