This day, 21st October, marks 180 years of the #cooperative movement.
"On 21 December in 1844, the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers Society opened a small store in England with five items and little fanfare. Thus humbly began the modern co-operative movement. Let’s step back into that time to get a sense of how co-operative history was made."

Which #wiki #farm? We have a #Debian #VPS, where, among others, we wish to have a wiki farm to provide platforms for our various projects, internal and external.
The short list is:
- #Xwiki, with its native farming system, high modularity and and groupware flavour.
- #DokuWiki which is simpler and has a dedicated Farmer plugin.
I am looking for some insight from maintainer/developer perspective, as we will need a lot of customisation, automated workflow, export/import and other bells and whistles. Also, resource intensity?
Please kindly flood me with your opinions.

It never could, it's a grift to take a percentage off the top until the ponzi scheme collopased under the weight of it's own actuarial failure.
The only question is in the timing. If insurance is needed, it means a whole bunch of building and zoning and failures have occurred.

in reply to Sue Stone • •In #Poland, #PIU (#PolskaIzbaUbezpieczeń - Polish Insurance Chamber) published a report in 2023, showing the impact of extremal processes on the industry results. Very interesting, as they have no political interest in softening the message.
