softwareKURATOR
softwareKURATOR is an online platform for source code. Designed as free software that can be further modified by users, kurator follows the structures and protocols of conventional curating and implements a series of algorithmic processes that partly automates these procedures. It translates curatorial protocols into modular software protocols, breaking down the curatorial process into a series of commands or rules. The software opens up the curatorial process to the public by offering a system that is open to user input - in terms of submitting examples of source code, arranging displays, commenting on these, adding functionality and modifications to the software itself.
