LORE
Β Β /lΙΛ/
noun
a body of traditions and knowledge on a subject or held by a particular group, typically passed from person to person by word of mouth.
These pages contain history and cultural knowledge in the Elm community written down to make it more accessible to everyone.

A downside of documenting Lore is that you alter its nature somewhat. You calcify a little its flexibility to keep changing, and you influence future readers.
Like a photograph of a moment in time, the photographer adds composition, perspective and framing (selection and exclusion).
Inevitably there is no objective Lore. Authors leave their fingerprint on what they write.
So the pages under Lore are framed in the following ways to try mitigate some of the downsides:
β’
The future isn't fixed by the past, things can and will change
β’
Donβt assume, and if you must, assume people arenβt malicious
β’
Focus on solutions and personal action
β’
Promote the future of Elm
All Elmcraft Lore articles clearly mark their authors and editors.
