Guide levels
AI draft, metadata-generated, public-reference rewrite, site-original guide, in-review, and reviewed states are shown separately.
Governance
Public charter, rotating secretariat, transparent finance
An international platform drifts without rules and loses trust without transparency.
Structure
Four basic mechanisms
Governance is built on public lawful work, nonviolence, member oversight, and local autonomy.
- Charter
Public principles and membership boundaries
Defines purpose, rights, exit, conflict of interest, and safety boundaries.
- Execution
Rotating secretariat
Rotates every six months and coordinates meetings, publication, translation, and reports.
- Regional
Regional coordination groups
Organized by language and region for collection, review, and liaison support.
- Oversight
Audit and appeals
Mutual-aid funds disclose budgets, expenses, approvals, and appeal channels.
Editorial Mode
Guides, sources, editions, and corrections need traceable records
The site does not present generated material as final reviewed work; every guide should disclose editorial level, source status, and review state.
Core 50 queue
Core works enter an editorial review queue for positioning, context, structure, concepts, reading questions, and common misreadings.
Correction loop
Factual errors, source errors, rights requests, and translation disputes go through the corrections page and leave a public record.
No false authority
Content may be reviewed, while source identity, rights status, and edition information must still reflect available evidence.
Source and Edition Policy
Separate reachable links from verified edition identity
The front end exposes precise states: exact source, public source, archive index entry, or version pending verification.
What does source verification check?
It checks whether the link points to a specific work, whether title, author, year, and edition match, whether the page is merely search results, and whether the archive states a usable public status.
How are images layered?
Core works prioritize traceable portraits, early title pages, manuscript pages, or archival pages. Other works may use site-generated reference cards. Modern commercial covers, derivative art, and unverified web thumbnails are not used automatically.
Why not host every full text locally?
Public-domain originals, authorized editions, translations, editions, and guides have different rights. Unverified modern translations, OCR, annotations, or publisher material are linked and described rather than copied locally.
FAQ
Clear boundaries make collaboration last
All work serves public education, research publication, and lawful mutual aid.
Will the network replace local organizations?
No. Coordination offers translation, data, experience, and support while local groups make their own decisions.
How will mutual-aid funds stay transparent?
Each project discloses purpose, budget, approval, receipts, and annual audit summary.
How do study groups avoid empty discussion?
Each session links to an issue, research question, or organizing case and produces minutes.
Public Boundaries
Open, lawful, transparent, non-violent, source-traceable
Governance protects the long-term credibility of documentation work and public education.
Documentation collaboration
Projects center on translation, editing, indexing, public research, minutes, and publications.
Review
Important materials receive two-person review, version records, source notes, and correction channels.
Lawful mutual aid
Mutual aid is limited to lawful public uses such as legal aid, translation, publishing, meetings, and strike relief.
Non-violent boundary
The site does not organize, encourage, or instruct violence, sabotage, illegal action, evasion, or targeting.
