[self-interest] Hello! (or, What's the best way to learn Self?)

Don't seem able to get a fork of the wiki repo.  I've forked the main 
repo, and this page: 

https://github.com/blog/699-making-github-more-open-git-backed-wikis

claims that I should be able to pull the wiki repo by adding .wiki to 
my clone url, but I just get the following unhelpful error message:

Cloning into self.wiki...
fatal: '/data/repositories/d/nw/d8/99/50/67046/1213259.wiki.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I've done some googling, but haven't found any other pointers on 
how to get a fork of the github wiki.  Anyone got experience with it?

I've put another days worth of notes up on the wiki:

All I can say about the writing is that it's better than 'Journey to 
Promethea' (a touch of insomnia and netflix streaming just brought 
me to that made-for-mystery-science-theatre classic).

Happy New Year everyone,

Josh
