# Welcome to Polycentric
### A role-playing game of agreements
## How to Contribute
The knowledge commons is built on simple [markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/) files and served as a website through [Quartz](https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/).
## Get Started
1. Download [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/download)
Obsidian provides a nice UI for authoring Markdown content.
2. Clone and setup the repo https://github.com/oovg/quartz
````
``` git clone https://github.com/oovg/quartz
``` cd quartz
``` yarn
``` yarn quartz build --serve
````
3. Open the /content folder as a vault in Obsidian
Create and Edit content with files and folders within Obsidian
4. Request access to push your updates back to [Github](https://github.com/oovg/quartz).
5. Create a pull request from `your-branch-name` to `v4`
6. When accepted, your content will be live on the website.
## Authoring Content
## Metadata
Each Markdown file should have the following metadata at the top.
```
---
title: title of content
draft: true or false (true will hide content)
tags: glossary, article, etc
---
```
Example simple glossary entry valid full Markdown file with metadata and content.
```
---
title: term
draft: false
tags: glossary
---
**term**
definition of the term
```

### Content Architecture
For now we simply have a Glossary and a Reading Room sections for content.
**Glossary:** Create new files, or edit existing ones in the "Glossary" folder
**Reading Room:** Add markdown versions of relevant articles, papers, and essays in the "Reading Room" folder to add content here
Feel free to propose new sections of content.
