- Create a space
|
|
- to host a list of resources
|
|
- to explore the documentation of coding related practices
|
|
- for situated software
|
|
- and articulate it as a form of care
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
- Target public
|
|
- people in small communities
|
|
- related to software
|
|
- _Examples_
|
|
- Soupboat
|
|
- Breadcube
|
|
- XPUB
|
|
- Varia
|
|
- OSP
|
|
- Konstant
|
|
- Autonomic
|
|
- 100R
|
|
- etc
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Why a space?
|
|
- Why a list?
|
|
- Why resources?
|
|
- Why not just a manual on how to write the perfect software documentation?
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
- It's tricky!
|
|
- 🤧
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
- There is no such a thing as a magic solution for perfect documentation
|
|
- While there are documentation frameworks that help naming and structuring things
|
|
- these usually cover just generic approach for technical writing
|
|
- Situated software has more to offer than a generic approach
|
|
- sprouting from specific contexts
|
|
- it can depend on particular knowledges and skills
|
|
- that differ in each community
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
- This diversity means
|
|
- manifold of ideas and ways to document
|
|
- hence a list of resources
|
|
- someone would call it site specific software
|
|
- someone else situated knowledges
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
- Different resources come from different communities
|
|
- It is not guaranted for them to be interchangeable
|
|
- nor to be effective or either meaningful for everyone else
|
|
- Yet, to be together in this list could be a way to interfere with each other
|
|
- To create perspective and inspire new strategies
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
- So the need for a space where to host the list
|
|
- What are the feature of this space?
|
|
- Open to contributions
|
|
- A bit structured
|
|
- A bit loose
|
|
- Is it a platform?
|
|
- Could it be something different than a website?
|
|
- Could it work without browser's technology?
|
|
- Could it have less environmental impact?
|
|
- Could it be simple and lightweight?
|
|
- Could it inhabit existing documentations?
|
|
- A strange hyper tagging system?
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
- _Idea_
|
|
- **Federated list**
|
|
- should it follow the concepts of the Fediverse?
|
|
- several instances of this list
|
|
- growing from specific groups or cluster of groups
|
|
- each community curates it's own list
|
|
- this is interesting
|
|
- is it different from a normal feed?
|
|
- yes
|
|
- because the contents are curated
|
|
- not just aggregated
|
|
- how is it structured?
|
|
- each instance has a server
|
|
- and offer access for clients
|
|
- _again_ could this be something different than a website?
|
|
- actually and ideally
|
|
- every instance could decide on the form
|
|
- more like a mesh
|
|
- a tapestry
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
- So what is this?
|
|
- A social network in the fediverse?
|
|
- A federated code of conduct?
|
|
- An entangled soup of documentation resources?
|
|
- I don't know yet
|
|
- But i can imagine a process:
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
- _1_
|
|
- Starting super small
|
|
- We
|
|
- (XPUB2 + me)
|
|
- write some documentation around the Soupboat
|
|
- collecting resources
|
|
- experimenting techniques
|
|
- taking care
|
|
- _2_
|
|
- (around march?)
|
|
- the system is offered to others
|
|
- that means either
|
|
- giving workshops
|
|
- or just showcasing the soupboat
|
|
- inviting other communities to try it as well
|
|
- (xpub1)
|
|
- (that autralian collective)
|
|
- (varia)
|
|
- _3_
|
|
- let's see
