~wiki

-Welcome to the tilde wiki!!!
+Welcome to the **Library of Knowledge** for [[~Camp]]!

-This is where all the **happy campers** of **tilde.camp** can document different ideas, compile their collective research, and share information with each other, away from the noise and chaos of the mainstream internet.
+This is a **wiki** where all the **happy campers** of [[~camp]] can document different ideas, compile their collective research, and share information with each other, away from the noise and chaos of the mainstream internet.

-This is a simple wiki, powered by PHP, and using the python script [[creoledump]] to translate the [[http://www.wikicreole.org|WikiCreole]] into HTML.
+To learn more about the wiki software itself, and the syntax it uses, see [[~wiki:about]]

-**IMPORTANT:**
-* The **~~wiki** DOES NOT allow spaces in the article titles. **Use an underscore** between the words.
-* The **~~wiki** DOES recognize single line breaks, although this is not in accordance to standard WikiCreole 1.0 specifications.
-* The **~~wiki** misrepresents the ~~ character, for some reason. It won't show up unless you use two in it's place. //Unless// you're using the "no formatting" tag like this: {{{~wiki}}}
+=What's Here?=

-The syntax for WikiCreole is below:
+**~~Camp** is like a new kind of "social media". Socializing happens by wandering around and interacting through various different methods, but you generally don't know who you're talking to or anything. It's about the message, not the messenger.

+These **three pillars** of communication allow a variety of human interaction to casually and organically occur:

+* The [[~talk]] is the teepee, a place for casual conversation.
+* The [[openbook]] platform is the "stage", the most public and central place in the camp, a place to put things that everyone will see.
+* The [[~wiki]] - **you are here.** This is the library, where we patiently gather our knowledge and coalesce our vision over time. This is the slowest moving communication of the three, but it's also the most organized, succinct, and detailed collection of information we have. This is the knowledgable foundation that binds the whole website.
+
+Additionally, the [[openbook]] platform and the [[~wiki]] are uniquely related, in that every hashtag on [[openbook]] automatically gets it's own [[~wiki]] page, so that the whole camp can collectively agree on the definition of different hashtags. This helps the information posted on [[openbook]] to remain highly organized and easily accessible. Openbook even allows future users to tag older posts, so that we can all help keep it organized.
+
+=The Library of Knowledge=
+
+The [[~wiki]] is the Library of [[~Camp]]. It is the gathering and collecting of knowledge. It is the coalescing of a deeper understanding, and a way to leave breadcrumb trails to help each other find our way.
+
+**//Welcome!//🍻**
+
+Below you'll find some fun little sections of the Library that help us wrap our heads around all this knowledge.
+
+==Knowledge Banks===
+
+The Knowledge Banks are just categories, collecting information according to the form and function of that Knowledge Bank. These methods of how to decipher and categorize information into the appropriate Knowledge Banks is usually a process further expounded upon within the Knowledge Bank's main page.
+
+[[Lost Futures]] is a place to wrap our heads around the apocalypse we live in, how to cope, and how to survive.
+
+[[Found Futures]] is a place where we can theorize about systems and things that could still yet make the world a better place.
+
+[[Schizoid Realizations]] is a place to share different realizations you might have had, that you cannot reveal, because they would give up your secrets or illusions of security and normalcy in everyday life. These are the things that you want to say, but feel that you "can't".
+
+[[Hacker Paradise]] is a place where we can share our coding adventures, tips and tricks, and categorize our knowledge of how to do cool coder stuff.
+
+[[Human Resistance]] is where we discuss the perfect storm of technologies hijacking our psychology to plunge us into an emotionally toxic feedback loop that leaves everyone feeling vacant and lonely. We discuss the issues at hand, the limits of artificial intelligence, and how to mitigate these effects and create tools that help. But also to discuss more big-picture strategies and actions we can take.
+
+==Unadulterated Creativity
+
+[[Fantasy Worlds]] is a place to get away, and a catalogue of alternative realities. This includes videogames, books, tabletop games, card games, pen and paper games, role-playing in chat rooms, and even writing collective stories together in the pages of this very wiki!
+
+[[Holodeck]] is a simple command-line game that anyone can play and everyone can contribute to. With an incredibly simple set of rules, this creative text-based game of exploration let's players navigate throughout an infinitely complex world of their own design. Players can't interact in real time, but everyone creates the world as they go, so as you explore the world you're exploring all the details left behind by other users. But watch out, when you get to a place where the story is unwritten, it will be your turn to write!
+
+[[ASCIIwith.us]] is a game of drawing things using letters, and creating a world together with others. It's similar to Holodeck, except instead of written paragraphs, it's text laid out on a 2D grid. This allows players to not only write, but also draw things with the letters. Like Holodeck, you can navigate throughout the infinitely complex world of our collective imaginations, but unlike Holodeck you can actually see other people typing if they're on the same screen!
