I think we agreed that we were gonna just put some stuff on the wiki and let it go for a while. So let me explain the content I'm gonna start to post. It doesn't need to be what we end up with or anything. I was thinking about the experience of reading these hypertexts and one thing it reminds me of is canoe trips through the systems of lakes and rivers that comprise the Minnesota-Ontario border. A typical trip is 2 weeks, starts at one lake and ends at another. Between the two lakes are hundreds of miles of paddling and portaging (when you carry the canoes over small land bridges between waterways) and hundreds of different potential paths through the wilderness between the in-lake and out-lake. A typical day of travel through canoe country presents the group with around 5 instances where one route has to be chosen and others abandoned. I've done the same trip (Batchewaung Lake to Basswood Lake) 6 times with distinct routes each time. And there are nodes and trails and loops on the map. Most trips pass through Sturgeon Lake at some point. There are chains of lakes-- like the Kahshahpiwi Chain, or the Man Chain-- that once entered don't offer any choices for a while.
totally distracting, I'm still formulating an idea of where I want to take the wiki and plan a more serious comment in the next few days.
Anyway I've been to the boundary waters 5 times but always through Grand Marais. Also I've never been into Quetico, or however it is spelled. Interesting. Perhaps canoing is going to have be leitmotif of the wiki.
Also just as a comment, I've never read any of Wallace's fiction, but have read 4 or 5 of his magazine articles, which bear a strong resemblance to new media in their creative use of sidebars. Almost hypertextual in use. I suspect this can't be coincidental. Anyway if anyone has any free time, look some up, they are quite good and definitely are an interesting example of less linear narrative, in this case non-fiction.
I love what you've done with the place. I'll have to ponder my contributions.
