Pasted URLs transformed to wiki pages
**Designed inGenuity (DIG)** is a learning framework for the creative mind.
Effectiveness without Ethics is societal and planetary suicide. We are far down that path already! Here is an actionable life line. Study it. After some study play with this: Ethical Regulator Design exercise.
Federated wiki is designed to be a growing, moving, sprawling thing that can outlive any advice that I might give here. But start somewhere we must.
We imagine two files to make a read only wiki: host and view. We supplement this with two more files for authoring: edit and update. github
Here is where I am exploring different ideas that have yet to find their place within a tapestry of patterns. They are concepts that I am beginning to explore. Incomplete and emerging.
Here are links to ideas and people in the bubble around Dave Winer and scripting.com
We describe step by step how one might reliably host a wiki farm for themselves or their community. Like any recipe there are many variations based on ingredients available and fashion of the time. We write in 2020.
We explain federated wiki plugins. We define their role interpreting content, recount our experience writing many, describe principles and strategies for future plugins, and offer a step-by-step guide for new plugin authors. We'll also collect pointers here to good plugins when they emerge.
We pause to consider _Wiki Nature_, a concept mentioned by Ward in passing, but one that speaks to a deeper truth of the creative process.
We sense that writing in the wiki can be poetic where meaning emerges from the Whitespace between words that are each rich with meaning.
Aristotle believed that if we focused on developing three types of experiences, theoria, poiesis and praxis, we could reach eudaimonia , the state of thriving when we are living into our sacredness. Exploring Eudaimonia
The original working title, rejected by the publisher, of a book edited by Carol Stimmel and Don Olson to be published in late 2016.
Christopher Reay has demonstrated that wiki page json can be reasonably stored as files in a git repo without unreasonable growth as version compound.
I have some feedback to share. I find Fed Wiki depressing. I'm using Wikis since 1996. My first wiki was your Perl wiki that I installed in the Mercedes-Benz intranet. We even met and talked in person at one of the EclipseCons. And I had a page at c2.com/bin/wiki?FrankGerhardt (from memory) but it doesn't exist any more.
The Transport Plugin is the name given to the plugin idea initially described here:
We suggest a new kind of content that can be created and shared within the federation with new rules for authorship and persistence. We intend this for fast distribution as one would expect in a conversation but with a well supported path to curated persistence expected of a wiki.
Here we dip into bleeding edge explorations in the wikiverse - stuff from Pioneers, that we wish we had the time to get into, and are way behind with. One day . .
Guidance on working with fedwiki, and why it is how it is.
From one starting point this web application displays reachable titles following links forward or backwards two hops. Find a link to this interactive tool in the caption to the right.
These pages chronicle the founding Smallest Federated Wiki project and report its early achievements with a series of short screencasts.
Many simple things that could be a button in a centralized system turn into a series of steps in federated wiki. We'll catalog them here as we notice them.
We make pages here mostly for the making experience.
We've demo'd many variations of what we must consider a long-running experiment, first with Croquet, then as an asset-based web app, and now at a powerful plugin that works well with the lineup. It's hard to say what the plugin version can and can't do. That is why we will catalog here our must suggestive work.
Federated wiki developers and users meet twice a week by video chat and all day every day by text chat.
