a Pmomm a Day
trying to overcome the blockage of thinking in projects rather than textual ideas I am attempting to write a pmomm a day for the next two weeks

07/06

What is it?

A footnote plugin for etherpad

Why make it?

using etherpads for collective writing is great and a clumsy endeavor at the same time. Footnotes are important paratextual elements that can help highlight that we do not only write with the people that are active on the pad right now but always with so many more

Workflow

look into etherpad documentation

Etherpad already supports common markdown elements through buttons like bold, underline etc

use/ embed markup footnote syntax

make button for Etherpad interface header bar

previous practice

thinking and working with footnotes

future attempting to: build things that people can use

wider context

contributing/ tweaking to FLOSS tools to personal/ communal needs

caring for citation as a crucial but often overlooked practice
