• A [[place]].
  • where you meet [[others]] with a good intent.
  • In the [[historical agoras]]:
    • A covered spot, usually a [[porch]], within an [[agora]].
      • Perhaps a [[semi public]] [[space]].
    • [[athens]]
      • [[stoa of attalos]]
      • [[stoa poikile]]
        • [[stoicism]]
• A [[resource]].
  • in this [[agora]] every node might include one or more [[stoas]].
    • Most succinctly, as of the time of writing, a Stoa is a website that allows [[iframes]] or announces other means of embedding or composing resources, ideally with a default intent of constructive cooperation. The Agora tries to embed any sites that the community has found to be useful and are willing to be embedded.
    • These Stoas can be said to be willing to be integrated into the [[commons]].
• Most generally a [[stoa]] is a [[set]] collapsed:: true
  • Of [[people]] and [[resources]]
    • the set of stoas in a node (a [[context]]), and the people that have [[write access]] to them
  • I believe well-working ("[[good]]") Stoas are likely to be integrated by people with [[aligned]],[[supplementary]] or [[complementary]] (but in any case [[diverse]]), sets of partially overlapping [[goals]] and [[values]].
    • a [[group]] with [[compatible]] [[worldviews]] willing to engage in [[cooperation]].
  • I would like to propose a number of Stoas. Each one depends in some way on the output of the formers.
    • The [[first stoa]] focuses on building and running an [[agora]].
      • See [[agora development]], [[agora plan]], [[agora feature requests]].
        • Also [[wikilinks everywhere]], [[browser extensions]], [[agora twitter integration]] if you’re interested in specific projects.
      • See [[agora howto]] and [[agora client]] instead if you’d like to contribute to the [[agora]] as a [[user]].
      • This stoa should be instantiated by default with [[agora development]], the [[matrix]] channel.
    • The [[second stoa]] focuses on freeing, opening up and otherwise improving the [[internet]] using [[open source]] and [[open ethics]].
      • See [[fedstoa]] if you’d like to participate.
      • See also the next Stoa, some of whose members belong to the second Stoa :)
    • The [[third stoa]] moves (burns, in solarpunk terms) in the general direction of [[world improvement]]; I propose a default attitude of well-meaning [[protopianism]] and being out to do good.
      • This Stoa should be instantiated by default with [[flancia collective]] and [[agora discuss]], the [[matrix]] channels.
      • As of [[2022-01-30]] [[flancia collective]] tries to run a [[commons]] where [[interested people]] can [[work in public]] using public tools and procedures to model the world together, and so reason about possible improvements.
      • [[topics]]
        • [[world improvement]]: [[humanism]], [[solidarity]], [[m prime]], [[protopoi]],
        • [[agora]] (see also [[agora development]]).
          • The first goal of this Agora is to improve the world for others.
          • The second goal of this Agora is to build a better [[Agora]] :)
• a [[project]].

• [[2022-03-23 21:57:41]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • for that a [[stoa]] might be the right tool
• [[2022-05-06 21:58:33]] [[@vera:fairydust.space]] (link):
  • that looks very interesting. we might add it as a stoa. a [[stoa]] is pretty much any external resource we can link as a collaboration commons for a particular topic
• [[2022-05-29 13:51:22]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • #stoa I’d summarize as saying that it’s "a resource somewhere relevant to the current node and meant for/conducive to cooperation"
• [[2023-12-29 21:32:11]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • the [[stoa]] is back up :) unsure what happened yet as there was no KVM attached to the server
