# Welcome to the Learnstream Wiki

This wiki is where we are collecting our thoughts related to our goals with [Learnstream](Front Page#learnstream) and [other projects](Front Page#other-projects). Broadly, our goal is to make the world a better place, with a primary focus using well [designed](Design) technology to [learn](Learning) and [be productive](Productivity).

## To do

* Create summary/starting point pages (both in case others join the party and for ourselves to get a handle on everything)
* Convert discussions/monologues into more wiki-pages unless the discussion is particularly worth saving. Examples: [Khan Academy]() [Competition Response]() [Spaced Repetition and Memory]() [Heisig Method]() [Flipped Classroom]()
* Add other stuff that we have to rewrite repeatedly. E.g., "what is spaced repetition"--copy from various emails, reports, etc.
* Figure out web hosting

## Guidelines 

### What do I use _____ for?

* What to use wiki for: It should be an encyclopedia of knowledge relevant to our project including but not limited to ideas for development and content, understanding about learning and related topics, and information relevant to potential business/distribution models 
* What to use Google docs for: drafting and storing letters and forms for external use, spreadsheets with usable content, blog posts ...
* What to use mailing list for: getting out ideas initially for discussion. Please get important stuff into wiki or Docs ASAP!!
* What to use blog for: push out interesting articles extracted from our discussion and wiki. Don't draft new ideas in the blog and disregard all of the other steps. You should draft the post in Google Docs anyways, as WordPress has a shitty editor (imho).
* What to use (other thing) for: DON'T!!!! Four is enough.

### How to use the wiki

* See also: [Help]()
* Try to avoid first-person, especially without saying who that person is
* Remember that this is public
* Keep it simple stupid; when in doubt throw it out
* REMEMBER TO PUSH!

# Learnstream 

The main iterations of Learnstream have code names:

* [Learnstream Soup](): Stirred up SRS, video, text, and social in a cauldron known as [http://beta.learnstream.org]() . 
* [Learnstream Atomic](): Introduced the idea of [Knowledge Components]() and uses a system of lessons and exercises for students to learn and study material.
* [Learnstream Fruit](): A more streamlined process built on top of Learnstream Atomic
* [Learnstream Plus](): Social features with Google+
* [Learnstream Minis](): More focused projects inspired by Learnstream
