Here is my under 200 character elevator pitch for the hackathon

(really a draft of a future (micro|dev) grant application to
Protocol Labs the creators of IPFS
the hypermedia protocol on top of which Fission built its webnative constellation
on top of which I am building this intentional framework

Re-imagining the Wiki for the Permanent Web for

connecting People to engage in Conversations
Mutual Learning co-improve our ability to improve

James Wong, [18.08.21 08:40]
Does re-imagining the wiki as IndyWiki (wiky) conveys the essence of what ur doing?

Seems far more powerful than that.

Gyuri Lajos, [18.08.21 08:44]
There is nothing more powerful possible than

to improve our ability to improve.
the wiky is the key because it is the simplest possible medium of non linear symmathetic writing
that can be extended to extend its capabilities

including orchestrating others capabilities so it is

the Kernel,
the seed,
the source of all future like holonic growth

Itself is a holon comprising

MindGraph,
MindDrive,
TrailMarks
IndieHub

Gyuri Lajos, [18.08.21 08:45]
Thank u for the question
James Wong, [18.08.21 08:47]
Ok. I still think it’s too general. It sounds like ur underselling urself.

I think u should have a few words that capture this way of

creating a 1-1 mapping between a text corpus and a directed graph to (re)present ideas symmathesy.
Gyuri Lajos, [18.08.21 08:49]
We are talking about the smallest piece it is only about IndyWiki
Not the entire system
which as a holon constituted by incorporating

MindGraph,
TrailMarks
MindDrive,
AppDrive,
IndieHub,
togehter forging the IndyVerse of Hypermedia for Symmathesy

yes the roundtrip between text with Trail-Mark-Ins and MindGraph is

the key to it all. I am so pleased that u see it for yourself
that gives the structure

IndieHub gives the means of personal first ability to collaborate

Inspiration

The project presented here owes its instigating inspiration to
Juan Benet, the founder of Protocol Labs and the new HyperMedia protocol that he
started to build 6? years ago.
We share his inspiration which goes back to Doug Engelbart.
and his original intent of "improving the individual effectiveness of the individual effectiveness"
that would lay the foundations for "Augmenting Human Intellect".
The significance of this protocol lies in the fact that it enables the network to become an Open Commons based
InterPlanetary database creating a Permanent Memory for Humanity on the Web.
Based on IPFS Fission.codes created constellations for
Open, Commons based peer-production of WebNative, born interoperable software.
Building on top of Fission's WebNative constellations this projects demonstrates a new
higher level constellations for the co-creation co-evolution new, Personal First ways of articulating
not only the Knowledge and Intents we need to solve problems, but
to co-create co-evolve the very means we need to improve our ability to improv
e both our collective knowledge along with the very tools, software we need,
all as a conversations that are continuous without being synchronous, with full provenance,
of all the interaction that lead to the creation of new knowledge including records of who read what when.

What it does

'Tain't what you do but the way that u do it that's what get results
As a Wiki

Progressive Capabilities

Non Linear Writing

To being with it is just a Vanilla Wiki
that uses a vanilla WYSIWYG editor to create content
with the ability to create new pages and link them bidirectionally
when you reach the edge of your knowledge (or the existing record of it)

Augmented Authoring

Use a mark-in notation to "semanticise" the text as you write
Trail-Mark-in as a notation allows the writer to Inject information about
the intent/meaning of what you write as you write

Round Trip between Text and Knowledge graph

that captures the semantic context for all the text by
Providing a round trip from the text you write to a knowledge graph that it creates and back

Like the original Wiki, it is

easy to emulate compelling to do.
Instead of creating a Wiki as a monolitic app, a silo, of a particullar constellation of tightly coupled capabilities
IndyWiki Itself is composed from a number of capabilities that themseleves are design so that
they should be easy to exchange for alternative ways of doing the same thing
It is done in recognition of the commonaility across a wide range of existing apps like
Wikis, Semantic wikis, Knowledge Graph tools, Tools for thought, 80% of the capabilites in there
appear across all of them each embodying design choices.
Consider a word where each component is created in a process that is Open, Commons based, peer produced,
Remember, we are already in a WebNative constellation.
No backend, because the Network IS the Commons OmniPresent WebNative database.

These components are conceptually are part of any like solution
No signup required,
zero onboarding,
zero install
offline first
It is a Wiki that
eas
is webnative,

hat means it is a capability that comes to the persons using it instead of forcing them to go some centralied place

Personal First
Private
all contributions are fully attributed right down to an individual's "Persona"
Extensible
Tinkerable

Just a technology demonstrator

Authoring Pages

Shared them as publicly accessible files using Fission

User Analytics built in

Can be tested

Ability to join as readers

so that access is granted and as the user is following links
to wiki pages
request is send to share it with the user

Ability to join as Writer

This is permissioned
minimal personally identifieable information
is passed to the person running the wiki
It is like revealing your user id in Telegram
a passcode is needed

How we built it

2003 - 2004 DTI Smart Awards for Innovation

Personalized Mobile computing
Built a graph based self-explicative embeded graph based Personal Information Manager kernel for
Sony Clie then Windows Mobile as Mformatic later called Opidox

2009-14 Opidox WikiNizer Conceptipedia

As a home project with the support of two friends designed and built with Web Technologies running in
Android WebView and the browser
a Personal Information/Project Comprehension/Knowledge Management tool that
followed Wiki like organizations but with semantic/intentional links behind the scenes
it was creating a Personal Knowledge/Intent Graph with the ability to articulate and refine
intentional interpretative structures
along the edges, that could be made effective in code transformation defined executable dynamically
The secret sauce was to treat a universally applicable canonical presentation of the underlying graph in HTML
not only as an exchange format but something that made arbitrary views and applications brought to the content.

2014 Linked Up Challenge

Personal Research Knowledge Graph Builder Harnessing Freebase Linked Data
Round Trip Between Google Docs and MindGraph
Precursor of Trail-Mark-in notation

2014-15 OrbitDb, Cayley experiments

Freebase shutdown
Conclusion No way OrbitDb GraphDatabase as a service was prohibitevly expensive
Home Brew in browser/memory graph database was performant enough no need for servers
Focused on Web Trails turn your browsing into a Graph and the ability to take screenshots and add remarks
MindDrive integrating with Google Drive

2017 HyperPost

Integrating with Google Plus to create a social personal first interest based knowledge graph

2018 Google+ shutdown WikiData Explorer

needed to anchor Personal Knowledge Graph of not notable entities in notable entities
for discovery and forming autonomous interest based social knowledge networks

2019 Kernel for Web3

2019-20 Integration with Annotation tools Hypothesis and WorldBrain

2020 Go WebNative with Fission adopt AppRun

People-centric Architecture for InterPersonal InterOperability accross all Web Apps

2021 IndieVerse, IndieHub, IndyWiki, IndyLab, AppDrive

Now that the path to our maximal possibility of the tech and our vision intersect
ready to build together and ship

Challenges we ran into

Here I reflect challenges that relate to the "Convergence Stack" blockchain and Web3 technologies
over the past 3 years looked at over 600 Open source project
at least a 100 in detail
There are so many projects and approaches.
Working on the leading edge have the paradox that there is frequent change, need to upgrade,
but over all progress is slow.
And even if things getting there, new tech emerges that is compelling
The only thing that can help is clear thinking and vision.
But hen you will be a contrarian and people do not understand what are you on about.
Even if, time after time, you are proven right consistently for decades going back.
The biggest challenge is to find the glimmer of hope when the wors expectations what it all about proves right
Good news is there is hope. The new IT Paradigm is just ain't up to the task.
And the more the totalizing forces push in the more they loose ground.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The idea of Personal Knowledge Graphs, Tools for thoughts, Federated wiki especially when IndyWiki runs along side webnatively
all these things are but realization of ideas that were all there in Engelbart's 1962 Conceptual Framework.
I am proud of holding on to the beauty of the original dream the debut of which was that 1962
to see it come true and being able to contribute to it.

What we learned

All these answers are not about the work down in the Hackathon
The hackathon is just a galvanizing opportunity to talk about all the work we have been doing for so long
on the occasion of having produced novel combination of capabilities to produce something that can
jumpstart the co-evolution of InterPersonal Computing on the Permanent Web.

What's next for IndyWiki

Now that we have an end-to-end technology demonstrator IndyWiki and all the capabilities it builds on
we can consolidate all that to be used in everyday communication and design collectively
By working with communities that cry out for the capabilities indicated here
we hope to bring in support.
Wish to setup projects on Open Collective.
Would like to be re\dy to propose a Development Grant from Protocol Lab
That would be the best thing that could happen to us, and would be good for Web 3 itself.
Our ambition with Indywiki or wiky fs to be
a catalyst for change that turns the Web into an IndyVerse of
HyperMedia powered by Inter Personal Computing
to be the Maker App for Web 3 as the Wiki was for Web 2
With SoLiD and other initiatives there is a great Paradigm shift towards a
People Centered Internet (created by Vinton G. Cerf)
in line with the character of the Internet and its protocol.
The very format for RFCs was proposed by Engelbart Himself, that is not generally known.
His original intent runs that deep, it is time to realize it.
