Development
  1. Instinct that snippets of text could be reused.
  2. Lots of playing with programming in Word.
  3. Hunch that organizing source materials could be done by "prefixing." Accidental discovery of "overriding."
  4. Own funds and own programming for first two prototypes, then a startup phase with three iterations, then totally open.
  5. Connection via MIT Media Lab and Berkman Center. Primavera identified fit with blockchain, and recoded to allow to be flat files, on GitHub.
  6. Further experience with how to work it.
  7. Recognition that this is part of a movement of radical decentralization, simplification, "empowerment."
