From Gemotstow

[edit] Purpose

What's the purpose of this site, for absolutely all things Anglo-Saxon related? Or are there limitations?

Aye; all things Anglo-Saxon.  It's hard to think what could be off-limits if it's legal and decent! If something's not here that you think could be covered, add it.  That is why it is a gemotstow.

Sounds good to me, let's have at it then. Wodenhelm 15:16, 1 August 2009 (IDT)

Why not just use this [1] It's less restrictive in subject matter, and allows OE to be used in the modern world. Wodenhelm 23:14, 5 August 2009 (IDT)

Not bad, and the more the merrier I suppose. Gemotstow though is not restrictive of subject matter. There is not much "revivalist" material on it yet (there is a "Revival" Category awaiting such material).

Revivalism can cover many things; Englisc gereord certainly but also architecture, culture, poetic forms, dress, social attitudes, the school curriculum and swa forþ. All have a place here.

Cool deal. Mine, I'm focusing on getting people to use the language, by including wide subject matter (sports, fiction, translations, music), and engaging topics. Essentially bringing it into the world. Perhaps we can do a cooperation: This page for all things AS (as the study of the language would naturally incur), then mine for anything else. Wodenhelm 00:20, 6 August 2009 (IDT)

That sounds good: put a link on. There's a page for "Links for revivalists" (I think) and one for "Links for language". If you don't like the word "revivalists", change it!
