Welcome to the [[Agora of Flancia]]!

This Agora is a [[Free]] [[Knowledge]] [[Commons]] built by people for the benefit of all beings.

Which people, you ask?

In the case of this particular Agora: us [[Flancians]] — and our [[friends]]!

Navigating

A quick tour of the Agora will hopefully communicate the intentions of the project better than many words of introduction.

  • See the list of all [[Nodes]].
    • A Node is a set of resources (mostly text notes and images) that are relevant for a query or location.
  • See the [[Users]] who contributed resources to this Agora so far.
    • A User is anyone who has contributed resources to the Agora Commons, either as part of a repository or individually through social media.
  • See node [[Index]] for the community-maintained index of this Agora, which is richer than this one, and will be embedded or "pulled" for you below.
  • See special node [[Random]] for a random node out of the many thousands gathered so far. Warning: can be addictive :).

Joining

This Agora is a bit different from most other sites around the internet in that joining is a two step process that begins somewhere else.

In a nutshell, it is a two step process:

  • First you take notes/write/make posts in the editor(s) or platform(s) of your choice.
  • Then you tell an Agora that you’d like to contribute those resources.

Contributing notes and free form writing

You can write to this Agora by taking notes using a [[personal knowledge management]] system like [[Obsidian]], [[Logseq]] or [[SilverBullet]], storing them in a repository, and telling us about it by writing to signup@anagora.org or reaching out over any of the other supported [[Agora channels]].

If you are "tech-savvy" (in this particular way) you can send a [[pull request]] adding your [[git]] repository to this Agora’s [[sources.yaml]] specifying the username of your choice. If you can’t make this work or even if you don’t know what any of that means please [[reach out]] if interested so we can try to support you through the process :)

Posting from social media

You can write to this Agora straight from the [[Fediverse]]! To do so, follow the [[Agora Bot]] in a supported platform.

‘Interacting’ here means writing posts containing at least one [[wikilink]], or opting in to #hashtag handling. Your posts will be linked and optionally cross-posted in text format to the matching Agora location.

  • Please [[reach out]] if you need anything, enjoy the Agora, and have a great day! ๐Ÿฎ
