Record of Changes
Change #1: 23 Nov -- Began expanding the investigation into the subject of "knowledge itself" inside paragraph 3, "The Interface" -- fully engaging in a process unlikely to EVER stop! In other words, it is conceivable that this whole document will change before your very eyes -- even frequently (sometimes by the minute -- sometimes not). Major changes will be signified by change number -- up in the title -- until a new notification scheme becomes necessary. Emergence and perfection of "The Civic Mentor" is a dynamic, perpetual, self-refining process -- until nothing is left to be done.Change #2: 23 Nov -- Added para. 5, to explain the source of the interface-technology used here

Providing FAST hyperlinks to every part of the Wikipedia -- like a "control panel"
1. PURPOSES
We humans tend to crave order over chaos.
This bulletin presents a speedy navigational overlay on top of the complete WIKIPEDIA --> which is a generally comprehensive "organizing-filter" --> on a HUGE portion of --> the ENTIRE Human Knowledge and Experiential Base (HKEB) --> which is, in turn, an organizing-overlay on the realities of existence --> as perceived and documented by all humankind --> and brought in reach --> within the ever-expanding boundaries of this "living" encyclopedic resource. (They welcome donations -- a very fair, helpful thing for us to do in return, when we can -- but they do not charge a single penny for this invaluable public service -- service from the very wise, gifted, and good-hearted)
a. AN EXTRA "SET OF KEYS" FOR UNLOCKING THE COLLECTIVE HUMAN MIND: This bulletin is intended to provide to readers AN ADDITIONAL, thorough, easy-to-navigate, full-access, and easy-to-grasp RESEARCH TOOL into the marvelous encyclopedic resource -- complete with links -- to help readers take FULLEST ADVANTAGE OF THE AWESOME POWER CONTAINED THEREIN -- with maximum efficiency.
b. This bulletin provides an external and internal view of the total Wikipedia landscape. Of course, you can always go directly to articles you require, simply by Googling your topics -- but sometimes, it can be extremely helpful to have another way to explore the entire landscape -- perhaps to shine light into corners you might not have even realized existed -- or had forgotten. This tries to fill that "gap" for you.
c. It is also intended as a Civic Mentor system-building tool, within the CM-project's reference system.
d. It is further intended to test this form of interface for suitability in uniting the vast Civic Mentor landscape, itself, into a concentrated, convenient, self-explanatory, "point-of-contact-and-system-control" between system-users and every feature of the system, as these become operational.
This bulletin started out as a THOROUGH exploration of one awesome resource, Wikipedia -- but it is opening doors -- already -- into the very concept of "KNOWLEDGE, ITSELF." WE SHALL FOLLOW WHEREVER THE THREAD LEADS -- over the time remaining to us.
