Welcome to PrePostPrint wiki!

PrePostPrint wants to gather those working with experimental publishing techniques and to help to make their projects and tools more accessible. [[PrePostPrint:About|Learn more]].

'''This wiki is under construction. Join [https://matrix.to/#/!cizYvymoSNbJTNoYzV:matrix.org?via=matrix.org&via=autonomic.zone&via=matrix.domainepublic.net the conversation] around it.'''

Our resources section might soon host technical [[Guides]] and [[Recipes]].

It already lists some '''[[Tools]]'''.

We also planned to gather [[Bookmarks]] and a [[Reading list]].

For sharing in the Signal chat or elsewhere 🤗<blockquote>Welcome to the PrePostPrint NL group!

PPP is a community of practices around experimental publications made with free software.

The PPP NL group is a local satellite of the wider PPP community. While free/libre open source practices seem to be more widely discussed in the context of France and Belgium, we are missing spaces for exchange and converse in the local context of The Netherlands.</blockquote>
