Origami
Hi Origamidesigner,

I was pretty happy to read on your user page that you intend to develop an origami book here at Wikibooks. I am not an expert (or really even a novice) at origami, but I have done a little work related to it here. Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book has a chapter on origami, as origami is one of the honors a Pathfinder can earn. The structure of Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book is not such that it would lend itself to what you are doing, as it has its own set of goals - but it could sure benefit from whatever work you do end up doing here. I'm looking forward to seeing your project develop. If there is any way I can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to ask. --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 18:27, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Jomegat! The bits and pieces that somebody else put up here a few years ago are in pretty bad shape, and I'm probably going to throw most of it out and start from scratch-- I've been itching to write an origami book for a year or two, and this is as good a place as any. I'd like to end up with 20-30 traditional models, some articles about the history of origami, and enough information about modern origami to get someone started... we'll see how much of that I can get done! I suspect once I get into the project a little more, I'll be grateful for another set of eyes to look things over and make sure I'm not missing things; and if you're new to origami, then you might be the perfect person to do that. Thanks, Origamidesigner (discuss • contribs) 19:47, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to take a look at it when you think it's ready. Just let me know. --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 21:36, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
