-Welcome to the Permacomputing wiki.
+Welcome to the Permacomputing wiki!
-All wikis are supposed to have a [[SandBox]],
-so this one does too.
+[[Permacomputing wiki]] is a [[wiki]] about [[permacomputing]], a radically sustainable approach to [[computing]] inspired by [[permaculture]]. The wiki was started in May 2022, so it's still at a very early stage of development. If you want to contribute, please ask the [[administrators]] for editing privileges.
-hello
+This main page of the wiki is an index to the various topics covered. See [[Permacomputing wiki]] for a more detailed discussion about the wiki itself.

+Outline of topics we will want to cover:
+
+* [[Concepts]] for discussing the topic: [[dependency]], [[sustainability]], [[bootstrapping]], [[design for disassembly]], ...
+ * [[Ideas]] overlapping or somehow related to permacomputing: [[appropriate technology]], [[permaculture]], [[computing]], [[heirloom computing]], [[benign computing]], [[salvage computing]], [[frugal computing]], [[small technology]], [[low-tech]], [[degrowth]], [[degrowth computing]], [[media archeology]], [[unconventional computing]], ...
+* [[Movements]] that (may) have compatible goals and interests: [[smallnet]], [[Computing within Limits]], [[right to repair]], [[solarpunk]], [[demoscene]], [[FOSS]], ...
+* [[Projects]] that (may) have some permacomputing relevance: [[CollapseOS]], [[Gemini]], [[Uxn]], [[Solar Protocol]], [[Branch]], [[CivBoot]], [[Small File Media Festival]], ...
+* [[Assessments]] of existing and established pieces of technology ([[hardware]], [[software]], [[programming languages]], [[protocols]], ...) as well as [[ideas]] (...)
+ * Even highly permacomputing-incompatible technologies and ideas (such as [[cryptocurrency]], [[software as service]], [[planned obsolescence]], [[Eclipse]], ...) may be covered. In these cases, the assessments will of course be very critical.
+* [[Hardware]] information with emphasis on [[lifespan maximization]], [[hacking]], reprogramming and [[DIY]] practices (including e.g. classic hardware platforms, ICs, artificially obsoleted modern devices and components thereof, etc.)
+* [[Resources]] (such as texts) about various permacomputing-relevant topics.
