Official Website of TEN - http://www.exergamenetwork.org

Purpose

This page is for collaboration with ideas for the official website. The "official" here meaning collaboratively published rather than any one agenda or commercial aspiration being pushed. The difference between the wiki and the official site is that the wiki is collaborative and the website intends to be definitive!
