Queer Spore

QueerSpore aims to map and note queering approaches in wiki-making and de-norming of things taken for granted in the wiki-cultures. It is initiated here to register the ideas, concepts, themes and topics, but also projects, programs and discourses that challenge and/or at least expand norms elsewhere. It is able to freely host form/content/method experiments, among wikisporians/farmers. It is accessible via domain https://Queer.WikiSpore.org
