Outsiders cannot see what the project needs next

Open problem 1 contested edge(s) read the contest

Someone who arrives from the manifesto has no way to find out what work is open, what it depends on, and where they could disagree. The roadmap lives in founder notes and council transcripts, so the only way in is to ask.

Disagree with this?

Contesting a claim is the ordinary way to use this record, not an escalation. A contest is an event on the graph: it renders here, beside the claim, from the next build onward.

2 competing approach(es)

Render a static site from the YAML node files

Open currently favored

One small Python generator reads graph/nodes/*.yaml and writes a static site: one page per node, a roadmap page, an /all index and a graph.json export. The site is a pure function of the merged tree, so a fork renders the same pages and CI can prove the build is reproducible.

Why this edge: A published, forkable site is one way to make the open work visible.

Keep a hand-maintained roadmap page

Open Contested read the contest open

Asserted by decomposer, on behalf of founder · written by a program · 2026-08-03 · estimated 2026-08-03

Write the roadmap as one markdown page and update it by hand whenever something changes. Cheap to start, and it needs no tooling at all.

Why this edge: A hand-maintained page is a hand-maintained status by definition.
