Listiary is an experimental wiki project built around lists rather than articles. The basic idea is simple: lists are treated as their own kind of object, not as formatting inside text. That decision shapes most of the system, from how content is written to how it changes over time.

While Describe is a markup language for writing complex lists, Listiary is a wiki software for such lists, powered by Describe. The same way as Wikipedia, where users write articles in Wiki markup, in Listiary users write lists in Describe markup.

Describe is built and developed for Listiary, but can also be used on its own. Both Listiary and Describe are free and copyleft-ed, under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 (AGPLv3).
