Some interesting side discussions on:

• "followship"

EES, Covid Edition

• Mattermost channel? Factr? Massive Wiki?
• partly-refined information + context, not necessarily accurate
  • should be signal, not noise
  • doesn't have to be perfect or even necessarily correct, but you should think it's important, and important to share
  • anecdotes can be important! make sure to note that it's anecdotal, though, and give a little context about what you think about the source
• personal responsibility for "notecards" added to the megastream
• develop a process of refining steps that make the information better and more organized
• transient
• info-stream, dipping ladle in a river, twitter feed (i see what i see, i don't go back and try to see everything)

History

• "constructed ignorance"

Massive Wiki Community Wikis

Need to make a map!

• "marcom" site
• user community
• developer community
• some kind of knowledgebase?

GDM (G*** Docs to Massive)

• a sibling to Matrix-to-Massive
• the idea is to pull Google Docs in a particular folder, transform them to Markdown, and then put them into a folder in a Massive Wiki

Opal

• Ionic (Electron, Web)
• Editor: MCEditor, CK Edit, Quill, SlateJS (used by Netlify CMS)?
