🏪 Our Wiki as a Sari Sari

A sari-sari shop is a ubiquitous small convenience store found in Filipino neighborhoods. The word sari-sari is Tagalog meaning “variety” or “sundry”.

Our wiki is a sari-sari - a small, abundant, ever-changing convenience stand, found at the corner of our shared digital kiez. - a colorful corner shop of our shared lives and knowledges

It hosts our resources (repositories, recipes, stories) the way a sari-sari cradles sweets, jars, rice by the scoop, single cigarettes, sachets of shampoo, love notes, and tita’s gossip.

It’s stocked with tiny and big things alike: recipes, notes, codes, playlists, jokes, diagrams, old tales, new protocols. It is a lively clutter, a place of proximity, trust, repetition, and surprise.

But this sari-sari doesn’t fill itself. So we hold potluck gatherings - regular moments where we come together to feast, chat, and each bring an offering to place on the wiki’s shelves.

To keep our wiki Sari Sari alive, we host regular potlucks where each of us brings something to add to our collective table of knowledges. These contributions can be references, recipes, songs, books, local his/her/their·stories, field notes, sketches, protocols - anything that nourishes our shared understanding.

Our wiki is a shared table or carpet — and you are invited to bring something. Contributions can take the form of:

📚 Texts – articles, essays, books, zines, notes, quotes, proverbs, rhymes

🎶 Sounds – playlists, field recordings, voice notes

🍲 Recipes – for food, for rituals, for systems, for repair

🧰 Tools & Techniques – guides, software, commands, methods

🧵 Stories & Memories – testimonies, anecdotes, legends

🔗 References – links, citations, genealogies

📦 Artifacts – scans, drawings, maps, diagrams

Each contribution is an ingredient that nourishes our collective pot.

🍽 How does the potluck work? | The Invitation Everyone brings a dish. This dish could be:

🍚 A recipe (literal or conceptual).

🎵 A song or playlist.

📖 A short article or excerpt from a book.

📝 A story, reflection, memory.

🖼 A drawing, photo, or map.

🔗 A link to a tool or project (?)

No contribution is too small. A sachet of sugar is as welcome as a sack of rice.

We take turns sharing what we brought. Each person introduces their item - why they brought it, what it tastes like, where it came from.

Then we “place it on the shelf.” / use common scanner, digital input

🔄 Why do we do this regularly? Sari-saris thrive on steady flows, not one-time stocking. So we host these potlucks weekly, biweekly, or monthly, depending on our rhythms.

It becomes more than feeding a wiki. It’s:

+ a space to reconnect, see what new items are on the shelves of our sari-sari

+ spark ideas for new contributions / experiments

+ bundle things together into new collections (like “fermentation practices” or “songs for opening gatherings”).
