TalossaWiki is one of our country's treasures, with page after page about our history and culture.  It's an organizing tool, the record of our laws, and a key part of Talossan life in the modern era.  But it's been a long time since it looked modern.  In the fourteen years since it was created, most of the essential templates have remained the same as when it was first set up.  But not any more -- finally, we're giving a new modern look to our national wiki!


In addition to the overall layout change, we've also reorganized a little bit, condensing some categories and adding a vital "New to Talossa" section.  Some of the categories never made much sense with how small they were, and this new approach makes way more sense in terms of real priorities.

More importantly, the wiki is now mobile-friendly!  On almost every device now, the layout reflows in order to accommodate the available size.  Each "card" will shift to make room, and the clickable icons are still the right size for most views.


This isn't the last update to our web properties in the works, since soon we'll also be looking at our website and Wittenberg (with the gracious partnership of our Minister of Technology @Danihel Txechescu  and the Secretary of State @Sir Lüc .  Our websites are our public face, folks -- they need to better reflect the amazing wonders to be found within!  Stay tuned for more!

(We also redesigned El List del Seneschal and the Citizen's Portal, but that's less interesting.)

@Sir Lüc

This is official notification to the Secretary of State that I am resigning my 7 seats in the Ziu. I thank the couple of Talossans who voted for me and will look forward to serving the Kingdom in 2027.

I hope this continues. I had great fun formalizing my two recipes for the last book.

Don't forget about this :)

Yes, that is correct. The primary change is in 8.9.4 and accounts for a vacancy in the Royal Archivist position.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on October 13, 2026, 08:26:08 AMI also strongly suggest that the ridiculous and self-aggrandizing post-nominal "vote" be stricken off the face of the Earth.

I think that such vote without a formalised structure to base said around, I would agree that these votes are likely to now be unbinding. I would allow for external postnominals to be granted if it had been achieved, and maybe with a thesis submital, exam or such, talossan verients could be added?

Quote from: Sir Lüc on October 13, 2026, 08:26:08 AMIf I may return to the main topic, I strongly suggest the Society add to its bylaws some provisions dealing with lapsing membership for non-contributing members. Especially since many of those non-contributing members did not produce a single piece of scholarly work when joining the Royal Society, let alone since then. Quoting the Seneschal in 2020(!):

QuoteAnyway, from what I can see, very few of the members of the Royal Society have been measuring up to the requirements of their positions.  Fellows and Senior Fellows (including the President) are expected to deliver annual lectures to the Society that pertain to their scholarly interest.  I can name perhaps one or two Fellows who have done this in any reasonable form.  Fellows are also expected to produce a twice-yearly symposium, but I am not aware of one.

I also strongly suggest that the ridiculous and self-aggrandising post-nominal "vote" be stricken off the face of the Earth.

This is the first I've heard of symposia; however, it's an excellent idea.

as to bylaws, it has been increasingly difficult to confirm membership status; it was partly why I changed the barrier of entry for submitting academic work and/or a lecture. many members may have lapsed due to inactivity, which would be  useful to know whos have had there 3 stikes.
