I was thinking that it might be nice to have an actualism wiki with a number of collaborators adding material to it organically over time. I’m happy to contribute - and whoever else wants to can just add little bits to it as and when they wish.
It would be written in plain English, more point by point and less evocative probably than the style in Simple Actualism or the AFT.
What software could we use to do this? Something that looks a bit more modern than wikipedia and with a web interface would be good.
Yeah, I think that’s a good point Andrew. Would be a good way to extract some neat ideas posted here and stick them into some organised structure for accessibility later and to see how that idea connects with others in the overall picture
Don’t totally understand that. If a post was to be incorporated, it would be edited for clarity and then inserted into the wiki rather than simply linking a whole post … or at least that was what I was thinking
Yes, articles. With links to the original discussion.
I am thinking “minimum viable product” with that idea.
If a discussion exists, then link it to a topic. Then if someone is so inclined to create an article, awesome, otherwise it’s just a collection of links around topics.
Each user could then create links without needing the formality of creating an article.
Yes, no ads! Or maybe just ads for Richard Merch like yellow polo shirts and hibiscus board shorts

Andrew, that’s not a bad idea. But the downside is that it would mostly be usable only to forum participants. I was thinking of it as more of a resource for the general public
Honesty, as a resource and tool for those already interested, a wiki will evolve naturally.
I would be all over it. Linking like a mofo.
Wikipedia is editable by anyone, which is wild. Something which allows for a degree of freedom, say with some nominated moderators, will evolve the fastest with the least burden on the few.
Over the years the programmers amongst us have bourne the burden of all these great ideas and chat room setups.
Let the plebs create! Something really basic and easy to set up.
With interested peeps moderating as they deem necessary.
Hmm I’m open to it. Every initial post there will be a wiki. And then discussion to go along with it - but the article should stand on its own. Makes it easy to link to other places here and we don’t have to learn a new interface or host somewhere else …
Yeah! That’s even better. Then as the discussion develops, people can add to the initial article.
Maybe just add their own avatar e.g. @Andrew , to the edits if they wish.
Copies can be made as people wish, as a personal backup, and incase of accidents etc.
