01 · Strolling through the archive

The archive is the whole tree. You can look at it from afar, come close to a branch, or look for a single fruit.

The Archive

Click Archive at the top. You see every saber you are allowed to see, from this mucua's galaxies.

Each card shows the cover (the saber's first image), the title, the short description, the date and the tags. The icon in the corner tells the type: image, document, video, audio. The + on the cover's corner puts the saber into a root (chapter 06).

Just below the search there are three ways of seeing:

• Gallery — the cards, as in the picture;
• Slides — one saber at a time, full screen, good for showing in a circle (on a phone: swipe sideways; pinch or double tap to zoom);
• Web — saberes as a constellation linked by tags, mucuas and territories.

Next to them: the order (recent, old, by title), how many per page, and time — a ruler to see only the saberes of a period.

Searching

Type in the search bar and press Enter. The search looks in titles, descriptions, article texts, captions and — when the mucua does this — in the text of PDFs and the transcribed speech of videos. It searches all languages: someone searching for "tronco" finds the saber that has a Portuguese version.

To narrow it down, use prefixes. Type the letter, a colon, and pick from the list that appears:

Each filter becomes a coloured chip in the bar; click its ✕ to remove it. The page address keeps the search: copy it and send it to someone, and they see the same result.

You can also click a tag on any card: the archive is filtered by it.

Opening a saber

Click the card. The saber's page shows:

• the title, the type and the date;
• the Languages row, when the saber exists in more than one language;
• the chips of the galaxy, the mucua and the territory — click to go there;
• the description;
• the place, if the saber has a location (and the link to the Map);
• the Content: images, videos, audio and documents.

Further down are the parts that open with a click:

• Copies — which mucuas have the file. If the file hasn't arrived on this mucua yet, you can request a copy (chapter 08);
• Relations — links to other saberes ("translation of", "part of", "reply to", "version of"…);
• History — every change to the saber: who, when, what changed. Whoever can edit can restore an old version;
• the permanent link — the address to share this saber.

Listening and watching

Videos and audio play right there. If the video has subtitles (made by someone or by the mucua's automatic transcription), they appear in the player, and the spoken text sits beside it to read and search. An automatic subtitle is marked as such — it may have mistakes, and whoever edits can correct it.

The player follows you around the website: start an audio, go to another page, and it keeps playing in the corner. You can build a queue ("play later") and save the queue as a root. Albums, audiobooks, podcasts and the community radio are in chapter 11.

Documents

PDFs open inside the page, with search in the text. A scanned PDF (a photo of paper) has no text until the mucua does text recognition (OCR) — whoever edits can request it on the file.

The other apps

• Blog — only articles and what was marked for the blog (chapter 03);
• Agenda — events, upcoming and past;
• Map — saberes that have a place (chapter 05);
• Roots — the collections (chapter 06).

The ☰ menu also has the network's Statistics.

To talk about in the circle

• Pick a saber from the archive and tell the circle: where does it come from, who appears in it, what is missing from the description?
• Which tags does the community want to always use? Agreeing on a few helps everyone find things.
