Here we are in the [[index]] of my [[digital garden]] -- which serves, by extension, as an entry point to the [[Agora of Flancia]].
If you are reading this in an [[Agora]] proper, you should see it rendered surrounded by several other indexes -- potentially one for each user contributing to the Agora, in some order :) If you are reading this in [[git]] or an only partially supported editor, please visit anagora.org or some other well-known Agora to render this with resolved links and full context :).
You can add your own contributions to the index of any Agoras you participate in by adding a resource like index.md
to your [[garden]] or [[stoa]]. More in general, resources matching a particular title will show up in matching nodes or Agora locations.
Please see [[how to edit this Agora]] below if you're interested in contributing or [[how to run an Agora]] for instructions for running your own.
Nodes
A [[node]] is a collection of [[resources]] having to do with a topic; a [[thing]] or an [[idea]] or whatever you want it to be.
The following are maybe interesting nodes to serve as entry points to this garden, and to the Agora at large.
- [[Person]]: contains links to nodes about [[people]].
- [[Agora]]: I write about the Agora often, in the Agora of course :) This node, like all and the Agora proper, is a [[work in progress]] -- but it should be a reasonable starting point to understand what the [[Agora]] is and what it tries to achieve.
- [[Commons]]: the [[Free]] [[Commons]] is an ideal that the Agora tries to uphold and represent for the benefit of its users and all sentient beings. A lot of my writing has to do with the Commons in one way or another.
- #go: you can find in the context links to nodes which contain a URL marked as canonical for the topic in question. It is an example of an [[Agora action]] which [[redirects]] to these URLs on demand.
Beyond checking the resources in the nodes proper (mostly text notes), remember to check for [[links]] in and out of each context established through use.
Journals
- Nodes whose titles look like dates, like e.g. those matching [[ISO 8601]] or [[RFC 3339]], are interpreted as declarations of public [[journals]].
-
If you visit node [[journals]] in an Agora, it should lead you to a variety of time-anchored contributions, e.g.:
- [[2024-02-19]].
- [[journal/2024-02-23]].
- [[2024-02-24]].
How to contribute to this Agora
If you like to take personal notes (recommended)
See [[Agora editors]] for alternatives. I ([[Flancian]]) currently recommend:
- [[Silver Bullet]] ([[MIT]] license) <- start here by default as of the time of writing ([[2024]]).
- [[Logseq]] ([[AGPL]]).
- [[Obsidian]] (closed source).
Then sign up for a [[git]] provider, like https://codeberg.org (or the better known and decent but corporate-run https://github.com), upload your garden to it (this yields the nice side effect of keeping it backed up but under your control!) and send us its location and your desired username. See [[Agora signup]] for more.
If you prefer to contribute from social media
You can also contribute straight from the [[Fediverse]] once you get an account in a server (e.g. one providing [[Mastodon]] to a community, or one you run yourself). I am part of and help run [[social.coop]]; it is a good one if you are interested in [[cooperativism]]. There's thousands more! See [[Map of the Fediverse]] for more.
Once you sign up to the [[Fediverse]], you can follow [[@agora@botsin.space]] and it will watch your posts for [[wikilinks]]. You can configure the bot to include the full text of your post or only links; and to also include, and respond to, post with #hashtags.
If you just want to write down something quickly and don't care about attribution
Consider just leaving an anonymous note anywhere around the [[Agora]] in a [[stoa]], which is a public space meant for collaboration (think [[wiki]] or shared editor) available in each [[node]].
For more
Please [[reach out]] if you want to try [[note taking]] or the [[Fediverse]], regardless of whether you would like to contribute your notes to the [[Agora]]; if you have any questions; or if you need [[help]] in general!
If you remember one thing, remember this: [[In Flancia there is an Agora]] :)
