I'm very excited to share that I've been working with the slrpnk.net/c/writing mods to set up a collection of resources and notes to make writing solarpunk easier:

https://wiki.slrpnk.net/writing:start

One of my ongoing goals is to start a culture of packaging up and sharing writer-level research to make writing grounded, aspirational fiction easier. The current wiki is essentially a cleaned-up version of my own notes (with a few small research projects done just for this).

We've been continuing to add resources to the worldbuilding wiki hosted by slrpnk.net's writing community!

In addition to adding a bunch of new information to almost every existing page, we've added pages for landfill mining and rough mounding (a system for habitat restoration in drastically damaged sites).

If you have a solarpunk special interest you want writers to know about or get right in their stories, feel free to reach out!

@jacobcoffin can non-admins add things to the wiki now?

I could add a lot of @SolarpunkPrompts research, as well as the written seeds from the Library

@alxd They can't (due to how docuwiki is stapled onto the rest of the site) but we'd be happy to add your writing research! If you'd like to write up pages or additions in roughly the same format (doesn't have to be docuwiki markup I can do that at least) I can add them! The writing community mods are currently hesitant to add new lemmy mods just for working on the wiki but if you're there for a bit and helping I suspect they'd come around.

@alxd the site admins are dealing with a bunch of hardware issues and hassle from LLM scraping at the moment, and we're kinda the only slrpnk.net community trying to use the docuwiki addon the way we are. One of them mentioned being willing to look at the authentication setup for us but they've got so much else to deal right now with I kinda hate to draw them back to one part (of a quite impressive assemblage of interconnected software) that seems to be doing fine without further scrutiny
