    The page collects the various networks and communities of category theorists around the world. As far as I have seen, such page was missing from the nLab!

    This list could probably be a subsection at category theory – References

    At the very least you’d want to link to it from there, to have a chance that people see your list.

    Hi Fosco,

    I see now that you created your page by demanding its link in the Sandbox (rev 2013, now overwritten). Probably this means that you have not linked to it from any other page.

    Think of it this way: If there is strictly no nnLab page that points to your new page, then the new page is physically disconnected from the nLab. Moreover, if there is really no page that should point to your new page, then it is also intellectually disconnected from the rest of the nLab. Neither ought to be the case.

    So whenever you feel the need for a new page, try to think of at least one (better more than one) existing pages to should point to it, and then make them point to it.

    In terms of type theory, whenever you declare a page, you should also give a constructor :)

    Maybe Fosco isn’t reading here? Hm.

    I have removed the capitalization of the entry title, to conform to our established naming convention. And I have added the missing hyperlink on “category theory”, so that at least that link back exists.

    I still suggest that this entry ought to be linked to from somewhere, and that the canonical place would be the References-section at category theory. It would make sense to create a subsection “Further resources” there, and have it include a line like:

      See also the list of _[[networks of category theorists]]_

    I won’t do this myself, but I’d urge anyone who cares about the list of networks to consider this, in order to do justice both to the spirit of the nnLab but also to the creation of the list itself. Otherwise I am reminded of that tree which falls in a forest with nobody around to see it.

    Finally, regarding Paolo’s joke in #5 I notice that this is not that far from the truth:

    The closest there is in Instiki, for ordinary users, to delete an entry is to make it “orphaned” by removing all links to it. There is a garbage-collection command in the Instiki installation, which can be run by admins (never has yet, but could some day), and that command deletes all the files corresponding to pages that are orphaned, in this sense.

    Added appliedcategorytheory.org.

    I don’t really know what this page is for, but adding the Zulip chat would probably fit.

    Since the page claims the order is strictly alphabetical, I put ACT first.

    Forming a numbered list using the device of writing 1. before each entry will mean people don’t have to renumber every time.

    Would it perhaps be too self-referential to add the nLab as a network/community?

    I think adding the n-Lab as a community would be a a neat self-referential entry!!!

    Agreed! Together with the nForum and the nCafé.

    I have tried to harmonize the formatting of all items, such that the hyperlinked arcronym goes first, with the description following.
