Is there a description anywhere of the history of Arbital development?
Specifically I once heard a 4th-hand description of Arbital as “the Stacks Project, but for everything.” It seemed to me at the time that a good step would be to ‘simply’ extend the Stacks project until it encompasses all of math[*]. I’d like to know which of Arbital’s difficulties would still apply there.
We don’t have Arbital history anywhere, although I guess there is the blog, which captures a fraction of it.
“The Stacks Project, but for everything” was a decent description for part of our first approach. However, it’s relatively easy for people to answer questions: doesn’t take much time and you get instant credit. It’s much harder to get people to write wiki pages / explanations: it takes a long time and you don’t get that much credit.
