• #pull [[open letters]] [[building bridges]]

An [[Agora]] implementation by @Flancian.

The concept is to have nodes / notes where people maintain their own digital notes garden like I do here, but then pull them in and link them through their public git repos. Aka a "distributed knowledge graph".

The [[Agora Plan]]¹ page has more details. It is written in [[Python]] / Flask and is open source under the [[Apache2 License]].

This site is [[Connecting to the Agora]] as of January 24th, 2021

Features and Documentation§

https://anagora.org/@bmann https://anagora.org/node/agora-actions https:/anagora.org/node/agora-search describes how to use the agora as a search engine.

Feature Requests§

Ideas about the agora social system as a whole, but for now mostly technical features of the Agora server software and the main [[Anagora]] instance. Join us on the [[FedStoa]] [[GitLab]] to add your own ideas https://gitlab.com/fedstoa/agora-server

• Ideas on agora.yml format, mainly [[Jekyll]] inspired https://gitlab.com/fedstoa/agora-server/-/issues/1
• If no local node found for [[wikilinks]], then auto-link to global node?

1. Not sure what the syntax should be here. I want to link to the "global" Agora plan page.↩

Like wikipedia but anyone can write whatever and no one ever believes its true and you can’t really edit other’s work.

This page is about possible implementations of the Agora. I hope, in time, it will evolve into a detailed plan.

For the time being, this is what I have:

Wiki§

I think I’ll set up a Wiki — any Wiki will do, but eventually I’d like to extend it to implement features, and for that reason I’d like to use a Wiki engine based on Python (v3 ideally). I know and like Python. You have to use what you have.

Building an Agora§

• #pull [[agora]] [[building bridges]]

• to [[look up]] an [[entity]] in the [[agora]], you can:
  • search for it on https://anagora.org pull
  • pass it to https://anagora.org/ pull with spaces intact or replaced by hyphens: https://anagora.org/entities-can-be-looked-up-in-an-agora pull
  • install [[agora search]] and describe entities straight in your browser’s location bar

In Flancia there is an Agora§

• an [[essay]].
  • #go https://flancia.org/agora pull
  • #pull in [[flancia]] there is an [[agora]].
    • an [[agora]] is a [[commons]], a place for the optimization of [[public utility]], a forum for mutual [[understanding]] and [[cooperation]].
  • in Flancia there are many [[agoras]] really.
    • the [[agora]] is an instance of a forum in the base case, but a network in the limit.
    • [[flancia]] is a place of many [[polities]], many with their own [[agora]], all part of a [[federation]].

  • [[agora outage]] [[2021-08-01]]
    • [[you can run an agora in your laptop]]

I’ve been procrastinating constructively on making the Agora actually reliable. This is a log of why and how I intend to address reliability going forward.

Sorry Anagora§

A page to [[apologize]] for times when you [[accidentally]] call the [[anagora bot]]

Usually because you were [[literally]] referring to [[wikilinks]] or doing some kind of [[syntax]] [[dreaming]].

The [[anagora bot]] is very hopeful in this regard.

See also [[Sorry anagora bot]] which i think is a duplicate page. [[sorry]].
