Where to send the aliens had been a matter of controversy for the three days before people decided that aliens really seemed like the Festival-City of Weaving Knowledge's problem (unfortunately so; aliens are a very exciting problem to have). The offloading meant Beloved of Water Lilies, Lead Coordinator of Weaving Knowledge, nearly immediately became also the Lead Coordinator of everything to do with aliens. (Everyone likes bright ideas. Few like implementing bright ideas. Luckily, Beloved of Water Lilies is very unusual for the species.)

Much debate later, Beloved greenlights a message sent out to the chaotic tangle of alien communication systems:

Greetings to aliens!

The krissan are a humanoid species on the planet Krisses and are new to the community. The current Lead Coordinator of Alien Relationships is Beloved of Water Lilies, also Lead Coordinator of the Festival-City of Weaving Knowledge. Weaving Knowledge is soliciting alien works of knowledge*.

 

Guidelines:

-If a work cannot be held and accessed without using intermediate technology (such as a "computer"), and will not function on the "computers" already acquired by Weaving Knowledge (specs here), please include the needed intermediate technology as well as an appropriate power source. 

-Works in media that do not require intermediate technology are most convenient for access and distribution. 

-Not all works may be immediately opened for public distribution, but all works are welcome for submission, and all will be opened for public distribution in due time. 

-Works do not need to be translated into the local language before submission, though additional linguistic materials to aid learning the alien languages in question would be greatly appreciated. 

-The krissan enjoy learning about other people and are very excited about aliens! The krissan would love all knowledge but especially knowledge about aliens themselves - culture, history, thought, etc. 

-The krissan enjoy commenting on others' works. Please indicate if one does not wish to receive comments.

 

Gratitude to everyone submitting something! In the spirit of the commons, a repository of krissan knowledge is being developed for alien viewing here.
