The community knowledge project records what the ant keeping community knows, and disseminates it to allow propogation.
> [!Warning] WARNING: This is an unreliable resource
> Community knowledge is liable to change rapidly. Content on any community knowledge page **can** and **will** change over time.
## How it works
* How information is added
* Commands such as `.anthelp` are available for people on the discord to call.
* Anyone can add and edit the community knowledge project on the [Ants & Ant Keeping discord](https://discord.com/invite/antkeeping). See [[bothelp]] to learn how.
* How it is used
* Useful commands are called by community members more than the unuseful ones.
* This is recorded as the number of calls for the commands.
* Over time, information is split (into different commands) or consolidated (under one command) based on what type of information would serve the community best.
* Uncalled commands are bucketed under [[botjunk]] and eventually purged if not removed from botjunk.
* How it is connected
* Members can call the commands in the chat, which spreads the information shorthand.
* Each command has an `up` field and a `related` field to forge connections to other parts of the knowledge base.
* The whole thing is published here on ash for easy searching.
## Theoretical foundation
The project is an attempt at cultural heredity - information that is useful to share is allowed to be change over time, providing descent with modification. Sometimes the changes are acceptable, other times it makes it less useful.
