New Zealand literature Wiki

Welcome to the New Zealand Literature Wiki
This is a space to find and share information regarding New Zealand literature - from authors and themes to obscure references. For more information, please see the About and Content pages.

Please help to grow this wiki to make New Zealand literature more accessible to New Zealanders and others.

Hello Members!
I am very excited to see that the New Zealand Literature Wiki now has some members other than myself. Thanks for joining, team, and feel free to start editing... or just lurk :)

Current projects
Once I have completed these, I will start to publicise the wiki around Wikia, on Facebook and Twitter, and through real-life networks like university Literary Societies, English departments and schools. Right now I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who looks at this wiki, but this information is here just in case anyone stumbles across it.
 * Learning about wikis, templates, etc
 * Ensuring all the basic pages have something on them (about, home, content, community, etc) I think I got them all, please let me know if I've missed any.
 * Setting up some help pages
 * Creating stubs for
 * 20 writers (done 10/20: David Merritt, Frank Sargeson, Denis Glover, Sam Hunt, Katherine Mansfield, Janet Frame, Marilyn Duckworth, F. E. Maning, Glenn Colquhoun, Eileen Duggan,)
 * 5 books (done 3/5: As Fair as New Zealand to Me, The Garden Party, Bulibasha)
