The second [[tech meet]], after a long pause. The text in this hypha was typed by the attendess.

Matrix is an open-source federated messaging platform.

  • the [[tour bus]] system
  • [[Agora]] — an aggregator for digital gardens
  • "Flancia!"— flancia.org — a vision of a future lifestyle

[[FedWiki]] vs [[Mycorrhiza]] federation approach:

  • Fedwiki's vision: ** SmallTalk & wiki link somehow (?) ** plugins, Javascript ** "Your wiki is your website, and nobody else edits it. Instead, it's forked, and the fork is edited." ** Fedwiki is like "water" - fluid, liquid

What Lion likes about [[Lua]]: *. It's [[C]]. It's primitive C. *. It's Dictionary-based. ("Tables") *. It's Globals-based.

Lion loves [[Python]] just like he loves his wife.
