Community Search Engines is the label for a set of approaches to interconnect communities.

These communities are formed by:

• Events such as conferences
• Digital spaces, such as a Discord server

These are often communities of interest, but can also considered to be trust relationships: if you are connected to a group of people you may extend trust to other recommendations they make.

Summer of Protocols#

I have applied to the [[Summer of Protocols]] with [[walkah]], see the RFC in the forum.

[[Dark Forest and Cozy Web]]

[[The Brazilianization of the Internet]]: forming communities, which can be considered a kind of commons, do exclude or make [[cozyweb]] spaces. Does this cause a kind of elitism, and/or further deteriorate public spaces?

[[How Algolia uses Electron to improve internal productivity]]: I’m still inspired by this description of Algolia implementing company wide search across internal tools, with desktop integration. This should be a tool for organizations of all kinds.

Tools#

[[Lieu]] is an example of some code that helps build community search engines and webrings.
