Ghyll:Encyclopedants Progress Report 1

This entry is in progress.

The Encyclopedants is a term applied to the small, but never seen, group of individuals who decided a collection of Ghyll intellect, in written form, was necessary for the bettering of society, as well as the benefit of future historians. The group now presides over the encyclopedia's integrity and "cohesion of vision". To remain an objective judge, the Encyclopedants attempt to focus only on "the facts as we're told them", asking questions, poking holes, and suggesting "standards" to further quality assurance. These Progress Reports are considered "official" communication between the Encyclopedants and their Scholars, and they encourage others to write their own thoughts and comments into the margins.

And Thus It Begins!

First, we'd like to thank those who have jumped into adding terms... already we've seen some strong entries but, as we feared, a definitive lack of group-think. This is really our own fault: in the hopes of canvasing as much of our beloved Ghyll as possible, we'd sent missives far and wide, requesting entries from scholars of all walks of life, society, and culture. Naturally, the world looks remarkably different through multicolored glasses, and cohesion (what the Encyclopedants have sworn to uphold) has yet to develop. Although the blame is ours, the rest of this Progress Report will address steps to bring things back into focus.
