Reminder: This is a wiki! Edit and refactor at will.

Project

We need a draft wiki that supports knowledge-generation experiments. Something that anyone / anybot can edit, with permalinks to historical revisions but no barriers to making changes. Including draft media, data, articles, and models / modules / scripts.

Current discussion

NPP? & New 'Pedia blog post.

Ideas

• Machine learning and AI models need a place to share generated translations, captions, descriptions, without being blocked for not crossing the quality threshold of a particular wiki community. These partial results can be used to improve future models, and as drafts for people / tools to draw on when editing other projects.
• GLAM institutions need a 'neutral zone' to stage uploading bulk media, metadata, and texts.
• Libraries that may have millions of records need a space to post freely-licensed versions of their abstracts and descriptions (w/o being reverted)
• Local organizations and communities w/o a depth of reliable sources writing about their topic need a place to develop free content about their topics of focus. (w/o arguing about notability)
• Pop culture needs a place to capture information about breaking fads (w/o having to go to Fandom).
• WikiSpores need a place to merge their namespaces (at worst into a disambiguated __NAME (spore)__ where there's a conflict).

Challenges

• Deletionism on current projects.
• Still need to counter spam/abuse.
