@yala Please do :) Good luck writing. Pattern language work seems to keep getting pushed to the back burner for me 😕 I find myself designing (well, specifying) a cluster of coops! And so paying a lot of attention to the DisCO commons-oriented coop model. But - pattern language is close to the heart of what the coops should do, so this hasn't vanished!

@strypey Glad to know that Strypey. I’d hesitated to ask.

@Matt_Noyes
Blast from the Past! Was tagged' 'the new Marx' in the 70s. Weaned on it 👌

@commonify
A little interest in wiki, and pattern, sparked here in social.coop. Thank you 😀 Frohes neues Jahr

@liaizon @Matt_Noyes I started in fed wiki about 6 months ago - thanks Silke Helfrich. Here are some resources.

Fed wiki folks are keen on graphs. A few links here

There's been discussion in Loomio open app ecosystem group, including how to create your own wiki

@yala
Is it possible for me to upload assets (jpg, png, pdf) to the federated.wiki server, so I can then include them in pages using an HTML plugin. Better than linking to my own NextCloud? An example would be the image at http://foprop.federated.wiki/weft-3---aesthetic-landscape.html
I haven't yet understood how to use the <Assets> plugin (is this relevant here?) and am only slowly understanding Ward's encyclopaedic posts and pages on images, and all things plugin. Sadly not much time to work & learn in wiki right now.

@bhaugen Have Mikorizal got any pages on #DisCo experience? @Matt_Noyes

@yala I'm so impressed by the creativity and skill of the fedwiki community around Ward. But frustrated that I have little opportunity to learn-by-implementation (too committed to non-wiki projects right now) and uncertain where to find documentation of all the current discovery, when I do need it. No doubt Ward will wiki it! But he's a hard act to keep up with?

@Matt_Noyes Important Matt 👌 Please keep tooting on this. D'you have a space elsewhere, with work in progress on this? It's necessary for 'coop' to expand, to become more like 'commons'. Personally I'm unsure of the #DisCo pattern - but I think that's mostly bcos I haven't yet put in the time to digest it. So looking forward to your legwork!
Way out of my comfort zone, but the way things are going, I may find myself trying to design a cluster of coops b4 long 🙄

@yala Will you be upgrading federated.wiki to the new version Jon? With text search.

Regularly I bang on about 'Why are Big Data analytics not being mobilised to reflect our own world 'at large', to we ourselves?' To show the other side of the story for a change, there are a couple of pages here on 'Big data for social good'. It all sounds a bit charitable, and crumbs from the corporate table - quite distinct from a fighting response in the hackersphere? Is Web3 supposed to magically make everything OK? Whatever, every little helps?

@richdecibels I think every body durably holds emotions in various ways/places, as posture, tension, sensation. As it happens I find my diaphragm telling me things - but probably not the same things you refer to, more likely fear of a particular kind in my case. Unsurprising: diaphragm is where breathing is done, a hotspot for 'emergency' responses. As it happens,my guts have a different stored message, more like a sense of loss. Everyone has a distinct body language perhaps. But yes, they talk.

@richdecibels Some research (lost the source sorry) showed that 'spirituality' for many ppl - who say 'I'm spiritual, not religious' - means 'There must be something beyond all this!' But if we feel what's here is real, and as much as we have access to, then 'sprituality' can perhaps be replaced by 'skill'? . . the particular range of skills involved in living capably with heart-mind & affect, in the midst of an ocean of people who also get their buttons pressed. Ppl may sign up for 'skill'?

@Anarkat
So many responses to this are about 'privacy'. But anybody in the fediverse should be well aware of being seen by Unknowns. The key issue, I would say, is - why are 'we' not doing more creative scraping & analysis, to show 'us' the shape of ourselves? The Big data are ours, why don't we exploit this commons more, with our own user-facing analytics? Attempting to enforce private ownership of data isn't necessarily the most beneficial way to deal with this emergent capability?

@richdecibels This is an interesting story about Burning Man, thanks. But social capital is such a dumb idea. A plague on Pierre Bourdieu for inventing a raft of fanciful metaphors, of types of ‘capital’ (social, career, etc). Bad old-fashioned capitalists’ Kapital is too important to muddy the water. Bourdieu should have worked a bit harder, and found some other term to label his interesting analogies. But (structuralist, French?) anthropologists just can’t resist an elegant abstraction!.

@sbeebe In England, in Jan/Feb, in the tree nursery, alder twigs are a lovely purple - one of the best colours at that time if show-offs like dogwood are excluded. It's not orange though! An elder cousin then?

@Matt_Noyes 🧡

@emi
Would be good to know more about this, as things develop. The China/Japan link is significant I feel. Are they news, or features too, maybe even historical?
@LeoSammallahti

@bhaugen
Way back, I was taught that
Capital = All of the above
Ie a complex relation, composed of numerous contributory relations of production. Coops, for example, escape some of these. But typically fall foul of others.
