+[^pattern]: An Agora is a repository of [[patterns]] and its design owes a lot to [[Christopher Alexander]], [[Ward Cunningham]], [[David Bollier]], [[Silke Helfrich]] and the [[commoning]] community.
 
 When interpreting the above and extensions, an Agora is liberal in what it accepts and when in doubt tries to default to being extra useful to the user -- meaning it is optimistic in association and surfaces all resources that have a claim to be associated with the context being served. For example: #CamelCase will be provided in all contexts matching [[camel case]] and all known variations, and this relationship is symmetric by default, in the sense that the user might provide either at write time and be later served matching resources in either context.
