Poetify is an open-source electronic poetry publishing platform. It is essentially code + support. It is machinery. It is an electronic press.
Electropoiesis is a website. It is an instance of Poetify with an accompanying blog and social media bits. It is the user-visible face of Poetify.
Poetify ain't anything special or fancy.
The idea is to concentrate on what would be called non-ergodic texts, texts that do not exhibit an "aesthetic of frustration".
Initially that would involve 'classical' poetic texts, re:verse texts, and some other exemplary forms of simple text-only works.
Poetify is a collection of publishing mechanisms, released as open-source, this is what makes it a publishing platform: because it is not devoted to one type of text, it is reusable, it is extendable, it is shareable.
Poetify brings the spirit of Gutenberg to electronic poetry and mixes it with the ideology of open-source.
Electropoiesis will be a multi-user site. It will be populated with electronic poets. Each poet will have their own electronic poet notepad. Each Poempad will have many ePages, as many ePages as the poet likes. Each ePage is as long as the poet likes. Each ePage keeps a revision history of the entire poem from inception to last breath. Each ePage is associated with one form of text at inception. So the poet will open their Poempad and create a new ePage of type ... whatever: classical, re:verse, and so on.
The Poempad and ePages technology is separate from Poetify
