 alright who’s building nostrpedia? 
 someone is ;) 
 Nostrpedia.com currently redirects to the nostr github 

http://nostrpedia.com 
 I'm guessing it won't go by that name. We don't call wikipedia httpedia lol 
 
 Not Gnosticpedia? Bummer. 
 This?
https://github.com/github-tijlxyz/wikinostr 
 Oh, neat!! 
 And there's this one, from maybe the same source code:  https://wikistr.vercel.app/ 
 Where's all that data going to get stored? 
 Relay’s presumably? Same as it is now. Some relays will opt in to keep data longer. 
 That's just too much data. It's becoming clear that we're going to need some kind of nostr Relay-to-torrent crossover to host all the data that big social apps like Nostrpedia and NosTube would require. 
 86gb for all current versions of pages.

 Seems not terrible tbh 
 Once a Nostr wikipedia is built you could seed it with these database dumps. 
 Not really much at all, considering the contents. 
 I'll help by adding words that need defining. 
 I’m building zapvertsing thanks to https://youtu.be/4sxon4ajrCM?si=fh4Pc8h9BoS8Tvwb

 Do I get my own entry? 
 one of the original founders of wikipedia has a project to create a "universal network of encyclopedias". see https://encyclosphere.org/intro
