pretty late improvisation on wiki-net programming

MattisManzel:
Recently, during a four day offline period I put some notes about what I imagine as programming for the wiki-net on paper. I copy in here what seems worth it and add to it.

The wiki-net of a wiki is a profile telling about the current neighborhood relations of a wiki.

To motivate communities to care for their wiki-net it takes automatic notification of communities when being watched by other communities.

there is a section on every wiki’s WikiNetFaces saying

currently watching the face of the xyz-wiki

 <rss "watching-the-face-feed url">

This feed is the goal. Me manually adding is for demonstration how it should work automatically only.

The same applies for WikiNetWikiIdeas, WikiNetHints, WikiNetChanges, WikiNetSoups (WhoHelpsHere is different btw).

The sources are the wiki-net feeds (these as well are created manually currently, that’s another story, nevermind).

mechanism:
Search for sections wiki-net-faces. Search if xyz-wiki is in it. If it is in it add the wiki to the watching-the-face-feed.

My idea about a centralizes WikiNetServer is BS. Not every wiki-hive needs to watch every other wiki-hive. Its users choose which other wiki-hives to watch and thus which other wikis they will automatically be notified about if being watched by them. Not everything needs to be connected directly but everything must potentially be connected via several steps.

It is welcome and helps building a HiveMind when
