## What do you want to make? ## What do you want to make?
Compile a list of resources to explore the _documentation of coding related practices_ from a community-based perspective, as a process of sharing knowledge and making worlds together around _situated software_. Compile a list of resources to explore the _documentation of coding related practices_ from a community-oriented perspective, as a process of sharing knowledge and making worlds together around _situated software_.
To work within the constraints of a structure such as the list will help to think through the complexity of dealing with a double _unknown_: the one of software and the one of situatedness. This complexity will hopefully be preserved and encoded in the relations between different items.

- documentation is the light
- you can see the lamp if the light is lit
- if it's not lit the lamp is there but you cannot see
- can you use other lights to see the lamp?

What about these prompts? They are a way to think about documentation systems and the making of software.

- How to structure the thesis writing machine ?
- Which level of granularity ?
- I would like to work with small text files
- but then the parsing could be trublesome ?
- small frontmatter files ?
- every entry of the list is a different file ?
- that is crazy, it would be much better to work with a DB
- but the db is obscure and requires CRUD
- that is not a problem...
- but i would prefer to have the files with the text thereeee
- writing the thesis in git
- git writing workflow
- wait also true that the thesis and the project are two different things
- but still
- everything is a file?
