+# Table of Contents
+
+This website is the home of “Performing Patterns Otherwise.” It is an archive, a website and an experimental electronic book that binds search, archive and writing in one publication. The landing page navigates the publication according to the conventions of a search engine, foregrounding search. The table of content offers a way of navigating that foregrounds texts, which is more in line with the conventions of book making. The  table of content reveals a logic of zooming in, from the general search to more specific configurations of the relationships between search, content, ordering and sense-making.

-Version 0.1 of the Experimental Publishing Compendium was edited by members of COPIM’s experimental publishing group formally known as Work Package Six. Since then a great many contributors⁠, from tool and technology makers to authors, designers and publishers have contributed, slowly transforming the Compendium from an edited volume to a collective resource.

-The Compendium is designed to be periodically updated, growing with the practices it aims to catalogue and support. Keeping the Compendium updated takes labour, care and attention and like any processual book it will die at some point. Currently, the Compendium is hosted by the Centre for Postdigital Cultures, Coventry University and is version 0.1.
-
-## Preface
-
-We — the editors of this compendium — do not wish to impose one version of experimental publishing, yet we recognise that a collection such as this is necessarily biased and thus political. In this preface to the first version, we are sharing how this particular version of the compendium came about, in the hope that this will open the compendium for amendments by those who maintain and use it.
-
-The COPIM experimental publishing group, formerly known as work package six, worked for three-and-a-half-years on experimental publishing, in the context of the largely Anglo-American Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs Project, COPIM. At a time when commercial consolidation threatened to monopolise the emerging scholarly Open Access publishing landscape, COPIM gathered publishers, libraries and infrastructure providers to develop community-owned infrastructure that can support small and large players. Open infrastructure, we proposed as an alternative to proprietary platforms that extract value and control access. Under the banner of scaling small, COPIM worked towards a diverse publishing landscape characterised by community ownership, collective production and governance, scholar-led publishing, and the sharing of resources and open infrastructures amongst diverse institutions. COPIM’s work packages were largely dedicated to serious infrastructure building, with the exception of the experimental publishing group, which grants the question how experimental publishing contributes to the ambition to establish infrastructures that allow diverse small initiatives to proliferate at scale?
-
-The closely related metaphors of publishing landscape, ecology, ecosystems or bibliodiversity shaped COPIM’s work. Staying with these images of lively and abundant interdependence allows us to locate experimental publishing’s place in scholarly knowledge production. Speaking of publishing ecologies implies that scholarly publishing cannot be separated from the wider academic landscape. How scholarly work is published cannot be separated from how it is funded, conceptualised, written, valued, reviewed, rewarded, read and taught. In this metaphor, scholarly works, like all specimen, coevolve with the environment they inhabit.
-
-Many things can be said about this environment: the contemporary academy. There isn’t one academy for starters. Opinions and politics differ, so do the stakes and subject position of the beholders.
-
-We, invested in feminist techno-politics, yearn for more collective, inclusive, embodied, situated and caring modes of knowledge production. But the notion that changes in publishing affect the entire scholarly landscape applies just as neatly to those, for example, who pursue scholarly excellence through competition and streamlining. Our point here, is that scholarly publishing ecologies reflect and materialise the wider scholarly landscape. Scholarly books, in this ecological view, are not containers of knowledge but relational nodes that materialise what does and doesn’t count as valuable practices, sites, labour, and subjects of knowledge.
-
-The flow of water is commonly used to model the flow of knowledge, taking us further into the question which forces shape the metaphorical scholarly landscape. Bureaucratic fantasies, enshrined in grant applications, project timetables and scholarly self-understanding and career paths imagine scholarly publishing at the end of an orderly pipeline of knowledge. The way that institutions such as libraries, universities, publishers, funders, and intellectual property regimes are organised tends to reinforce the notion of a manageable flow from funding, to research question, to investigation to publication to evaluation. The metaphor of channeled flow and the premises of contained stages provides structure. Channeling the flow of valuable knowledge, gives publishing a place and a form: the book, at the end of the pipe. But… you see it coming… where there are pipes there is , breakage, spillage and blockage. And… without overflow and contamination… there won’t be much to be piped. A sanitised scholarly landscape of industrial pipage is a nightmare, that evokes the very real nightmare streamlined industrial production has brought upon very real ecologies—leaving but scraplands for diversity which alone can ensure life. And... also… despite all efforts to establish well irrigated, drip-fed academies, the flow of scholarly knowledge is not easily channeled. Swamps, oceans, ice shields, underground currents, floods and drought prone rivers evoke alternative models of flow, that might inspire a diverse knowledge-scape that cannot be contained within the academy or otherwise.
-
-Coming back to experimental publishing, new forms of publication might create new kinds of pipes or spill-over into more relational circulation. Either way, we posit that experimental publishing is one of the sites where the shape of scholarly landscapes, and their relationship to other ecologies of knowledge and power is negotiated and materialised in practice. How we do publish matters. Experimenting with scholarly books is to experiment with scholarly modes of knowledge production. This labour of love, like other experimental practice, takes place at the growing edges and in the cracks of established practices, where by steady corrosion, underground commotion or capital intense incubation forms of writing, making, sharing, reviewing, discovering, reading and cataloging books come into being that will change what counts as scholarly work.

The compendium offers a catalogues of tools, practices, publishers, and books to inspire experimental scholarly works.
-
-## How to use the compendium
-
-The compendium catalogues potential ingredients for the making of experimental publications.
-
-- Under [Tools](/tools) you’ll find mostly software that supports experimental publication from collective writing to the annotation and remix of published texts.
-- [Practices](/practices) provide inspiration for experimental book making.
-- [Books](/books) and [publishers](/publishers) provides examples of experimental books and those who publish them.
-
-Each item is cross linked so that a practice will take you to relevant tools or examples and vice versa.
-
-The selection is tentative, reflecting the knowledge and biases of the contributors of current and previous versions. If you want to submit or edit anything in the catalogue please do so by doing XXthisXXX.
