The Augustan Society Wiki: A Handbook for Society Operations
The purpose of this wiki is to act as a Handbook for The Augustan Society, Inc., providing a complete description of Society operations, procedures, policies, forms, and traditions. It is yet in its infancy, having begun on 1 September 2014, and there is much yet to be loaded. Once that phase is complete, corrections and additions will be solicited, and the editing will begin in earnest.
John F. Woods, a computer programmer active in the last decade of the 20th century, famously wrote, "Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live." Authors of pages here are thus admonished to make sure that what is written is not only correct and complete, but well organized, so that our successors may take up the reigns from us with minimal trouble.
The Society is organized (somewhat informally) into ten Departments:
- Administration
- Chivarly
- Genealogy
- Heraldry
- History
- Royalty & Nobility
- Library
- Museum
- Communications
- Sub-Groups
