With the Beyond Social project...
Beyond Social requirements

A web applications dedicated to collaborative content creation
Interview with Ward Cunningham - inventor of the first wiki
Wiki - positive aspects
- anyone can become an editor
- all content is public
- revision system keeps track of each edit
- enforces semantic structure. Making possible converting wiki pages to other formats (markups): HTML, EPUB, ICML, LaTex, etc
- API can request wiki pages's content and metadata programmatically
Wiki - down sides
- a flat space, made only of pages and users
- how to organize a publication in this space?
- what structures to adopt?
- how to organize a workflow of authors, editors and proofreaders ?
- messy, difficult to read and navigate
- necessity for alternative reading spaces
Reading spaces - publications
- Website http://beyond-social.org/
- Web-to-print paper publication
- Authors & Articles map
Glue
How did we connect editing and reading spaces?
- Wiki API - fetches wiki page's content
- Pandoc - converts wiki content to HTML
- HTML templates - structure and style for each website page
- glue scripts - interlinking all these elements
