==Introduction==
Welcome to Creoliste. This is a website set up in November 2010 by the author -- me -- aka, WikiSysop, sashi. A Wordpress [http://blog.creoliste.fr blog] and a full-fledge Moodle were both added in Nov 2010, and the next month I added a "cahier de texte" (a CMS/scheduler for secondary schools) called Chocolat which I used instead of the Moodle. (I had used Moodle back in 2008-2009 on another server I administered for Butterfly Moments Photographie). This wiki was added on April Fool's Day 2011. Another (more [http://photo.creoliste.fr photo] friendly) blog was added in March 2012 along with the [http://biblio.creoliste.fr creolist biblioshare] (which runs on wikindx).

Overall the major areas treated are English teaching, US history, and some world history. It should soon contain more information about markup and programming to complement the linguistics links and studies on the wiki. Not all content is linked yet, though I do try to keep up with the [http://www.creoliste.fr/docs/TOC_docs.html TOC for texts] and and the [http://www.creoliste.fr/quizzes TOC for games]

===Origin of the Name===
After studying philosophy I decided to study languages, linguistics and lit. I was (and remain) very interested in Creole languages, in part because of my work with Becky Brown and later with Stéphane Goyette, but also because of my friendship with Benjamin Hebblethwaite, and my feeling that Creolization is a useful metaphor for helpful big projects, much better than Gogol. ^^

Nevertheless I would be remiss not to also mention the immediate cause: Luis de Miranda's [http://crealisme.hautetfort.com/archive/2009/12/16/manifeste-du-crealisme.html manifeste de créalisme], which is a very allusive text in praise of ethical building. (a critical review ([http://lodel.irevues.inist.fr/cahierspsychologiepolitique/index.php?id=1713 in French]) of his ''L’art d’être libres au temps des automates'') ... ^^

This complex of platforms also had its origin in the Arab Spring, and in things I learned from the forum/wiki agreg.ink.

		+	== What can users do? ==
		+
		+	Search, read, and propose content at a blog, a bibliography, a Wiki, or in simple HTML form (stories, essays, etc.). Any contribution here must be your own work, work in the public domain, or work that is licensed as CC-BY (with proper attribution).
		+
		+	Many have suggested that wiki-spaces are inherently drama mosh-pits if you open them up to the braying mob. Certainly the pages detailing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiSpeak Wiki-speak] and my own [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SashiRolls user-page] testify to that tendency towards drama at the English Wikipedia. I do not believe that this is a necessarily consequence of using the technology, but here, I don't want any of that; nor do I want to have to use the block button. As a result, at least for the time being contributions to the wiki are only accepted by email.
		+
		+	This page is a trivial garden, where there are some pretty flowers. It is a garden I would not mind seeing grow in coordination with other smaller gardens, as such I am currently buzzing around seeing what other wiki-experiments there are out there.
