If you are reading this garden in its raw source (i.e. as a [[git repository]]), consider visiting to browse it with working [[wikilinks]] and other amenities ;) + +## A short introduction to the Agora + +The Agora has two basic building blocks: [[nodes]] and [[links]]. + +An Agora [[node]] is a collection of files related to what the node is about, as described by its title. In this garden most nodes describe people, things, ideas, and other concepts. The file you are reading is in node [[index]] because it is called 'index.md'. + +An Agora [[link]] is any concept in [[double square brackets]] that is found in an Agora node. + +Agora Journals are just nodes whose titles look like dates, like e.g. those matching [[ISO 8601]] or [[RFC 3339]] dates like [[2025-02-04]]. + +## A short introduction to this garden + +The following might be interesting nodes to start browsing this garden, and with it the Agora at large. + + - [[Person]]: contains links to nodes about [[people]]. + - [[Agora]]: I write about the Agora often, in the Agora of course :) This node, like all and the Agora proper, is a [[work in progress]] -- but it should be a reasonable starting point to understand what the [[Agora]] is and what it tries to achieve. + - [[Commons]]: the Agora aims to be a [[Free]] [[Knowledge]] [[Commons]] for the benefit of its users and all sentient beings in general.
