Welcome to CC, a shared server currently maintained by Simon, Manetta and Doriane from Rotterdam/Brussels.

With CC we explore how community gathers around specific experimental publishing tools, how hosted tools can be prototyped for activist collectivities, and how we can question and participate in a discourse around practices and tools.

CC is currently hosting the following things:

• octomode is running
• wiki-to-print is configured for use
• pads
• fonts
• traces
• cobbled paths (not yet)
• this wiki

If you want, you can sign the collective calendar (on the right) as a way to collect server presences together. Under the calendar you can find the CC-collective conditions for use we formulated, which is something we consider to be in flux.

You can write us at: cc@practices.tools

This wiki

We use this wiki as a working environment to produce publications with, organise the collective CC server maintenance work, and document things we do.

octomode

→ URL: https://cc.practices.tools/octomode/
→ more info: octomode
→ git repo: https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/CC/octomode

Octomode is a collective editing space for PDF making, using Etherpad, Paged.js and Flask.

The version installed on CC is open for use but it is password protected, reach out to us to ask for it, we share the password in an open ended network of trusted-peers and trusted-peers-of-peers.

wiki-to-print

→ URL: https://cc.practices.tools/wiki/Pdf:Unfolding
→ more info: wiki-to-print
→ git repo: https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/CC/wiki-to-print

Wiki-to-print is a collective publishing environment that hooks into wiki practices and cultures. It uses MediaWiki software, CCS Print rules and Paged.js, to render a preview of the PDF in the browser.

The version installed on CC is internally used. But if you're curious to try it, let us know.

pads

→ URL: https://cc.practices.tools/pads/

Pads on CC are open for use for things related to CC in some way.

fonts

We are hosting a very adhocly selected list of fonts to use them in web-to-print projects.

traces

→ URL: https://cc.practices.tools/traces/

Here we collect traces of our practices crossing with CC.
