Goals
- Minimalism and clarity of information
- Standardization across IBG posts
- Networks of IBG websites and blogs
My goal is to find people and organizations who are willing to convert their knowledge into the IBG format with the purpose of creating a decentralized network of compatible reference works.
With the exception of Wikipedia, I believe information on the internet is very disorganized. To address this, we need a standard for displaying text information on a webpage that enables different websites to work together on the same information collection project. I also believe such a standard should create small chunks of information. Chunking allows information to exist in a more granular medium which allows greater flexibility when organizing and arranging pieces of information in a directory.
The curators who create directories (or people who make search engines) of IBG posts would be responsible for helping readers find posts and essentially create the network.
