- a protocol.
- A series of conventions that sentient beings can agree to follow while trying to communicate optimally for the common good.
- A series of explicit assertions.
- Announced customarily in schelling points.
- Extended through agora rfcs.
- With such a protocol we can build (provision?) a common pattern language and bootstrap a global knowledge commons.
- An Agora is a repository of patterns.
- A flancian uses Agora Protocol to try to define their intents publicly and cooperate with others optionally for the benefit of beings, but all aspects of Agora and Flancia are meant to be fully optional.
- A series of conventions that sentient beings can agree to follow while trying to communicate optimally for the common good.
- a document.
- #go https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JdaC_9J0uYFNFp7g7x4VNtMxJSZQsE2MQkOMmydLCCc/edit
- Trying to bootstrap the above protocol.
- Plus a roadmap for a platform or federated network making use of it.
- #pull agora paper.
- In an agora, agora protocol is meant to enable people to exchange resources mapping to patterns in a (by default) free global commons, which I also call the Agora for short.
- This Agora is a knowledge commons but seeks to enable communities to bootstrap a physical commons to provision for their needs as well.

- I started with google docs in 2019/2020 and then I tried moving to hedgedoc but actually I think I might just go back to the google doc. It's just a rich experience, and several potential collaborators already use it (they left comments).
- Update (2022): revamping now ocassionally while writing agora pkg chapter, but it may be that the source of truth becomes agora paper.
- a social convention.
- A list of social conventions and assertions.
- Focusing on improving the ability to communicate with each other with good intent.
- text based to begin with.
- This means you can use it anywhere you can write down text by default.
- Using this basic quality, we can make use of adversarial interoperability as we want to.
- agora protocol can be used everywhere.
- It is already used in wikis. You might as well call it wiki protocol used in new contexts.
- You already use it in digital gardens.
- You can use it in books.
- Books written today with Markdown ugit
- In email.
- In chat and social networks.
- -> agora plan
- Around the web in general.
- -> agora ext
- This Agora, resolved by default using common Agora endpoints at https://anagora.org, welcomes all people and formats a priori.
- This Agora welcomes all groups except fascists and the violent.
- It is the opinion of this Agora that the use of agora protocol in a medium defines an Agora, in the sense that it designates the contexts in which the protocol is used as part of some Agora by default; and the medium as potentially interoperable with the Agora network.
- A list of social conventions and assertions.
What follows is Agora Protocol in a nutshell: https://twitter.com/flancian/status/1437079533253976066.
- layer 0
- layer 1
- You can use wikilinks. This expresses an intention to make use the wiki protocol, of which the Agora is a special case.
- The reference Agora, in which you are probably reading this, also has some limited hashtag support.
- An Agora is any virtual space you can define in any way you want as long as it is explicit and by default public.
- Each Agora publishes a set of definitions of intention as expressed by its users.
- This Agora is rational, pro social and heterarchical.
- a protocol.
- for federation.
- can be bootstrapped with agora exchange format?
- #pull knowledge commons
- plain text plus as layer 0 (bootstrapping layer).
- indented bulleted lists designate a useful heterarchy.
- wikilinks and #hashtags at layer 1, plus other link conventions and metadata extensions.
- successive layers are explicitly discussed through agora rfcs and settled through a governance layer called an agora and defined by convention.
- agora protocol payloads may be exchanged for knowledge for free in any designated agora.
- this agora is built around a pro social distributed knowledge graph, that is, a social knowledge graph.
- see go/agora-slides for more.
- to see the communally maintained text of the full protocol, please refer to the stoa below.
- successive layers are explicitly discussed through agora rfcs and settled through a governance layer called an agora and defined by convention.
- a protocol is a set of explicit conventions that can be followed for a purpose.
- conventions can be optional or necessary and must be marked as such. The default commitment level for this protocol is optional. use must if you must.
- for extensions:
- push to or modify agora rfcs.
- this is as kept by the community agreeing to cooperate on such a list: the community of the agora.
- #push agora
- an agora is a seed that wants to grow into a tree, and from there into a distributed network.
- the seed of this agora is go/agora/git, defining a commons.
- flancia collective is the keeper of https://anagora.org.
- agora bridge, agora server contain input (write) and output (read) code respectively.
- #push agoras
- Compatible agoras are expected to assemble into a greater federated agora network where they can fork and merge as wanted.
- agoras must communicate clear goals.

- the agora is a markup convention
- 2021 I presented in i annotate, refer to go/agora-slides or recording if interested.
- 2022 writing agora pkg chapter
- for federation.
