YOUTUBE 2FMBf6A2eAA Developer Aaron Hsu claims that software communities only succeed if they create the environment where good code production can flourish. “This [social and psychological aspects] is the most institutionalized incompetency in the programming community.”
On Federated Wiki, domain is identity. Names are administered by ICANN, then FedWiki project, and independent open-source projects along further branches through to the leaves. We use sequences of presentation in hypermedia through a dom and a javascript module capable of holding state and also sharing it in order to change the ways that browsers are designed.
A pattern creates value in a particular context. We locate value in the people, projects and patterns integral to the turning points in software development and programming history. We do this because it feels more reasonable than trying to forecast everything that a solid-state interpreter cannot realistically determine, predict or secure itself against. This is not an argument for or against functional programming but an effort towards the practical development of more than one language paradigm through Urbit. Notice how these pages move freely between domains so that the most copied pages end up forming the basis of a reputation system.
Each federated wiki pageview is automatically attributed with a CC-by-SA 4.0 share and share alike license. We have workflows that coexist with other source licenses and accept that additional friction. We have reason to believe that reproductive licensing is conducive to authorship in a creative economy: people want to share, and they'll share more if they own it in every instance.
