Gathering materials in [Care for code](care_for_code.md)! It came out as a small web-to-print zine!
### Report from session2
Session two at Varia. It was nice.
There were six people including me. Some friends, some acquaintances, and a stranger. It was a balanced mix. In the end we didn't really documented anything, but used the materials and prompts to discuss and think about documentation from different perspectives. We were too invested in the topic to just work on our own.
There were a lot of interesting prompts. Some were coming from the printed materials: the list of sections from _makeareadme.com_ triggered a lot of discussions around the standardization of readme files due to platformism, about what was missing from there, about which kind of world was referring to
Scattered thoughts:
- next session could be longer: discussions were soo interesting and rich that in the end there was no time for writing docs
- next session could be thematic: based on one activity such as the seductive readme file, or the readme and easy readme, or image based documentation, etc
- materials are good starting point, but if you bring something you could also activate it, not just leave it there. meaning: why did you bring a particular thing?
__notes for next time__
practical:
- offer a structure at the beginning: context, how activities are organized, etc.
- take pictures
- take notes or ask if it's ok to record
### documentation archive ???
Hosting the session was refreshing! It helped me think about a concrete outcome (snapshot?) for the graduation project. At some point i found myself thinkingabout a visual archive for documentations with a loose and expressive tagging system.
These tags could be informed by the various activties of the workshops, and be a way to navigate through and link together different docs. Not only from technical aspects but also formal, content wise, etc
