New page

This is my attempt at formalizing [[User:Elie|my]] intentions for this wiki/platform/project. I'm expressing it as a "SMART goal".

{{pn|TODO: add an external link to some blogger telling ppl what SMART goals are; there are plenty of folks writing about it on the internet}}

==Specific==

# This wiki shall be a platform, both for informal half-baked ideas/discussions, and for solid consensuses backed by rigorous research. It shall serve as a pipeline from the former to the latter.
#* I shall design a framework{{x|i.e. a new standard of formatting, notation, structuring etc.}} that can make room for content in every writing style and [[Project:Refactor|every level of detail & certainty]]. It should even make room for bad ideas, along with a solid explanation of why they're bad.
# I shall post online my current ideas, fitting them easily into this framework. This includes ideas from my scratch notes (currently saved offline on my laptop) and from the content I've already posted online on this wiki (I may need to move a lot of stuff around).
# I shall open up the wiki, so that other people can add their ideas and extend mine.
#* It must be done safely. I need a plan (and backup plan){{x|at the very least, I should make backups of all my content before the opening}} to manage the potential chaos. Trolls & spammers shouldn't be able to waste more than 4 hours/week of my time, for example.

==Measurable==

[[Project:Refactor]] provides a list of things{{x|"things" meaning types of content}} that my framework has to include{{x|"include" meaning "allow for"}}. I hope the list is descriptive enough.

''How I'll know when the framework is good enough:'' My scratch notes will start falling into place, with room for everything I wanted to say.

==Achievable==

As you can see, I'm not trying to do a master's thesis on every subject. I'm just trying to turn what's already in my head (knowledge/understanding) into online content that other people can understand{{x|and not misunderstand}} and build upon. I think this is pretty achievable,  as long as I invent a format that works.

==Relevant==

This whole project is only relevant to people who want to make the world better. This is not a platform for how to make selfish gains, except for ones that are win-win for society.

If all goes well, this platform will be a tool, an "idea mill", and a much-needed missing piece from our current political & academic landscape.

==Time-bound==

* <code>October 1, 2024</code> I should be finished designing the framework.
* <code>November 1, 2024</code>  I should be done with all the technical work that the framework requires (including writing code if needed).
* <code>May 1, 2025</code> All my most important ideas/notes should be turned into content via the framework.
* <code>June 1, 2025</code> Time to fully{{x|"fully" doesn't necessarily mean "every page is unprotected and editable by literally anyone". If some things should stay closed, that's fine as long as it's part of a plan that makes sense. By "fully", I mean that I shall have ''completed'' that plan.}}open the wiki.
