Siavash recommended to checkout https://metacademy.org/about

This platform seems similar to Wikipedia in the sense that it collects Text, not patterns.

It is very different than Wikipedia in the sense that:

1. Each the topics (“concepts”) are a node in a knowledge graph, so you see the parent-child relationships between topics.
2. People can also contribute by creating:
   1. “concepts” (nodes in the graph)
   2. “roadmaps” (a collection of nodes that covers a specific topic)

Similar to US (and different from Wikipedia) they focus on organizing knowledge and goal oriented learning. But yes it is different from US in the sense that they don't enforce any specific formatting on their knowledge (i.e. patterns vs. text).

@grumo It really does seem to be getting Hot! Every company that we identified so far is missing the foundation pattern network that we have assumed would help Us optimize education 10x or more.

Even if we find a company with the same pattern network idea, the challenge companies like Us share are:

• Creating trust and credibility for learners
• Finding the right balance of features
• Defining the proper focus to start

This space is getting hot!

Just got a request to join a global peer-to-peer knowledge transfer platform.
