<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Scratchpad for a bad idea: Nomic but the way you interact with everything is UNIX tools.<br />
<br />
The only idea right now: Proposals are AWK scripts that are fed the current ruleset as an input.<br />
<br />
Trying to think of other ways we could add more utilities. Could we make actions AWK scripts? How would we enforce permissions?<br />
<br />
Ruleset is code, written in a literate style?<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
# Rules<br />
A file exists in the root called "ruleset.md". This file contains the rules of the game. <br />
<br />
# Proposal Resolution<br />
At the end of the phase, all proposals are saved in /proposals, with their filenames sorted in the order they were submitted, then the following is run:<br />
<br />
#/bin/sh<br />
<br />
cp ruleset.md /tmp/ruleset-in.md<br />
for f in $(find proposals -type f | sort); do<br />
awk -f "$f" /tmp/ruleset-in.md > /tmp/ruleset-out.md<br />
mv /tmp/ruleset-out.md /tmp/ruleset-in.md<br />
done<br />
