Connecting Libraries
Every library is a folder on a disk. This makes them trivially shareable.
Fork
cp -r ~/oma-library ~/second-library
OMA_ROOT=~/second-library oma
Two libraries. Same origin. Different futures. Like branches of a library system, each growing around its community.
Mount a shared folder and annex it:
> as-archivist
> annex /media/shared as other-libraries/friend
Send a document:
> transcribe west-wing/correspondence/hello to other-libraries/friend/acquisitions/
It appears in your friend's acquisitions room. No server. No protocol. Just files on a shared surface.
What works
NFS, Syncthing, USB sticks, SMB shares — anything that moves folders. Documents are text files. Sharing is copying.
