David: that make it sounds like it being mainstream for widespread use. In fact, it is a very intelligently crafted architecture for decentralized writing and collaboration, and it's damn weird. but anything done thoughtfully will be weird, and it's a small node project, something we can build on, very pragmatic, something we can start using. We can also do an iterative design. Different people can come together and pull different parts apart. It is acceptably effective in managing different pieces of information in different disciplines, from community currency to sociology, and we can start weaving it together, and it manifests the problems that we need to tackle in order to pull it off. Allows people to co-build the infracture we are talking about. People can get involved who do Zoom videos. They can record a video, edit it, and put it in the documentation. You can link it to academic programming. You can do front and back end programming. We have done one hackathon with IPFS, one with Holochain. You can also prototype the interfaces we need, beause each page is the same size as a mobile screen. We can do a hand drawing, and then say, "let's go and build that." So, for instance, if Alexar wanted to do research for Melbourne, and Robert is in Canada, we can write asynchronously together. It's all JSON. It's a very different approach than say, DigiLife or Google Docs, when you are not doing anything new or better than you would get with a paid project management infrastructure. All that work you are doing, but you are not taking a single step forward. You need to iterate rapidly.
Lauren: A lot of people working on their own, but if a grant came up, each person would have their own document, but they could put something together really quickly. A smart network could be a thousand of different things, for example, depending on who is going to pay for it.
David: let's say that Alexar pings me and says that there is a Zoom call next week with Omni project. Within 20 minutes, I could put up new site, and I could fork a bunch of pages that have been written about a bunch of things, I write 2-3 things, order them, and I have a presentation where we can all fork it. That that that that, grabbing individual slides. I have been working on exporting a series of pages into Javascript slides. If Lauren put up a document called Smart Network, I just forked 30-40 pages, and then we make small changes to that, and quickly you can get an in-dept discussion around that content and you can get a little splash site around that to get a grant. I don't believe it's so pragmatic, but the real value is about how you do coworking. All the things that we need to overcome to do that are contained in the federated wiki.
Alexar: A few hours ago we were talking about how we would have access to our knowledge, and I could give you permission to see my pieces of knowledge. When you take it, it comes into your context.
David: we can play with all of that. It's all doable. The strongest pragmatic interface, as Jonny said, is chat audio interface. That's the biggest one in the next year. Has Jonny walked through chat interface, Keybase with you?
