TL;DR: I've spent the past 3 years with researching and covering every topic of Tool-Assisted speedrunning to create a knowledge base of verified facts. While my materials are in a very early stage, I require feedback and some discussion to make sure I'm on the right tracks.
1. What is this project?
A public knowledge base to help everyone and anyone regarding tool-assisted speedrunning. Every information is written and verified by myself so far.
2. Why?
- Tool-assisted speedrunning covers many scientific topics as well as an ever increasing materials that can not be fit inside the tasvideos Wiki.
- I want to help newcomers as well as regular and veteran members to have a go-to page for their questions and problems rather than creating new discussions threads to already solved stuffs
- I believe that with the right formatting and writing, we can make a central knowledge base that can be used by anyone
- Internet and life itself will be always hard to understand. From simple information to their credibility throughout scientific researches, there are many things that currently paywalled, erroneous or just not elaborated enough to make these information available to everyone.
3. What is the situation?
- I'm currently finished researching materials outside of scientific companies, corporations and university knowledge bases.
- I need feedback as the primary audience will be TASers of the tasvideos.org community
- I need to finalize design choices
- I need to be sure every potential topic are under my radar, before I start expanding the currently started investigations
- I've shared a link of google drive with all my currently written down materials of this project
- I need to find a home for this project for future discussions and be sure to not conflict with any legal laws and rules
4. What will you do in the future?
- Continue and focus with nearly 100% of my time and commitment on this knowledge base
- Making a public apology and private for those I've offended in the past, most importantly my derail from the Doom TAS discussion thread as well as all my questionable actions from the start of joining this community to this day.
- Join discord and catching up on tasvideos.org threads
- Looking for potential contributors as I have hit some roofs of understanding different areas of science and technology as well as not enough time to investigate and being the sole person in charge to update these information over time
- Staying in the community... :)

6. Discussion and availability
Apart from a short trip to Spain, Valencia, I will be on discord and watch this thread for today (July 11st) and will come back on July 21st. After that, I will be actively research and be online on these two platforms.
