is there a farcaster historian?

maybe a github repo to keep track of all the lore?

Update on the open-source FC lore wiki idea: 

After talking it over with other casters and looking into the possibilities, I've decided not to forge ahead with the idea. 

I still think it's needed, and there's clearly lots of enthusiasm in the FC ecosystem for it, but I'm not the right person to spearhead it.

However, since I’ve already written two pieces of FC lore…

- The Farcaster Scenius Lexicon (collab with @adrienne)
- “Clanker is a Goth” (a collection of clanker witticisms)

…and I’ve also got a loosely organized collection of terms for the Moxie Dictionary, I’d love to contribute some lore from my collection if someone else decides to take up the mantle, so keep me in mind.

Thanks for all the suggestions in the previous thread. Much appreciated.

The idea has been brewing for a while but no one has been ambitious enough to make it happen yet

*nod* The Farconomy still has a long way to go if we're ever to have truly sustainable funding models for culture projects like this, and for community-service types of maintenance labor like channel moderation.

That said, I'm 100% here for the experiments, so feel free to tag me in future discussions about lore projects. 

If the Farconomy ever does figure out sustainable funding, I'd love to serve as an editor.

To clarify: we did have ambition. What we did not have is a realistic path to sustainable funding. Arts and culture projects are usually funded by philanthropy long-term, and we don't have much of that in crypto yet.

I'm working on other projects now, but anyone who takes up the challenge should feel free to keep me in the loop. I'd be happy to contribute the work I've already completed.

Thank you for the clarification 💜

And sorry if I worded it wrong!

Do hope this project will be realised one way or another. I also think it's a bit weird that in a space with so much money and resources the philanthropy is kinda missing.
