THPedia is structured with two sites – a site focused on stability (https://th-pedia.org) and a site that encourages experimentation (https://thpedia.org). Users are able to set up accounts on either site and make contributions of new articles and enhancements to existing articles. (Accounts established in 2024 and earlier would work on either site with current credentials.) A coordination process between the two sites operates to preserve the constructive changes that are understood to enhance the content. 

THPedia is a project that grew out of the original H+Pedia (2015-2024), which was principally maintained by David Wood and Chris Monteiro, with contributions from various other editors in the transhumanist community. Gennady Stolyarov II was the administrator of H+Pedia between January and November 2024 – a time during which continuity was maintained and H+Pedia and THPedia were operated jointly as the same site. Meanwhile, Josh Universe created an experimental site at https://thpedia.org to coordinate with THPedia.

On December 9, 2024, the H+Pedia domain was transferred to the Humanity+ organization to be run as a separate encyclopedia by Humanity+, while the THPedia project continues to develop into an open-source encyclopedia for the transhumanist community.

This Virtual Enlightenment Salon will include a demonstration of the capabilities of THPedia on both the stable and experimental sites and the opportunity for viewers to ask questions and make suggestions.
