420 Pages

> 420 Pages is the minimum size of the noosphere before it becomes useful for a writer to write in wiki.

Prior to the experience of connecting to a suitably crafted context of authors and relevant content, the effort of learning to write in wiki might be of interest to those seeking to understand the theory and practice of modern hypertext - but it is complex to learn and will slow down all but the most advanced user's productivity.

Magic happens somewhere after this minimal threshold has been reached. Luckily it is remarkably quick, and quite a lot of fun to create this number of pages as a small group activity. An creative pod of between 6 and 15 people, meeting once a week for around 6 weeks (42 Days), will usually create substantially more content than this.

There is a great deal of satisfaction gained in being part of creating this content. Together the group is often ble to create the world's most up to ddate and authoratative archive on a niche subject in a remarkably sort period of time.

However to achieve these results, currently requires skillful and knowledgable guidance. A facilitator needs to convene the weekly gatherings, provide mentorship, and gently steward a group towards the technical and philisophical expertise needed for the collective process of writing to bear fruit.

It is the aim of the project to document the skills required, using rich media (especially video), and to improve the user interface of the writing environment so that the learning curve is less daunting. AI can alos be of great help in empowerign small groups to understand the mission, without having to rely solely on the presence of an experienced tutor. The aim is not to replace the human touch, but to empower it, by making it much simpler for volunteers to convene their own research groups.
