The open board: the items only the author can supply, and the tasks the site is carrying. Numbered, dated, and published rather than held privately.


Comms: tasks & requests

The open board. Needs (N) are items only the author can supply — first-person accounts and decisions. Tasks (T) are work the site can do. Both are published rather than held privately, because publishing the build order with its open questions visible↗ is the house rule.

Needs — only the author can answer these

#What is neededWhat it unblocksState
N1Was CC0 on docs.diniscruz.ai deliberate? Answered 6 September 2026: no — CC BY. The documents layer is CC BY 4.0 throughout; replacing that repository's LICENSE file is the follow-through.The practice section↗ now records the decision, and thesis (d)↗ is reframed as what CC BY means for machine reuse.answered
N2The OWASP interview — thirteen questions, published in full↗. Board tenure and what the role involved, projects led, whether owasp-sbot hosting was deliberate, why 2017 left the OWASP umbrella, and whether the Open Security Summit still runs.The whole OWASP section↗, which currently ships the summit history in the third person and marks the rest pending.open
N3Why was each project open-sourced? O2 Platform, MGraph-DB, OSBot, memory_fs, sgit-ai, Issues-FS. Six published projects, not one retrospective — the O2 article being the exception, and written about him rather than by him.A retrospectives section, and it would make the practice page↗ something other than a list of packages.open
N4Q1: is the customer subset open core or packaging?The test is proposed↗ — does the customer build contain anything the public repo does not? — and the answer is a fact about the product that only the project knows.The open-core page↗ can then state a verdict rather than a test.open
N5Q4: will the estate change to pass its own stress test?Leg by leg, with what each fix requires.↗"No, and here is why that is an accepted risk" is a publishable answer.The self-audit↗, which records the result and can then record the plan.open
N6Confirmation of the summit facts restated here from the author's own summit history — attendance figures, the 2008 travel funding, the 173 sessions at Woburn.Removes the last third-hand layer from the summit section↗.open

Tasks — work this site can do

#TaskState
T1CI pipeline and auto-tagging — validate → tag → deploy, matching the sibling sites. Documented →↗done
T2The agent-discovery ladder — markdown twin at every URL, self-sufficient llms.txt, llms-full.txt, all generated and enforced by the build. Read →↗done
T3The stress test as a working tool rather than an essay — four legs, client-side, exportable. Run it →↗done
T4The self-audit, published in full.Read →↗done
T5Why Apache-2.0 rather than MIT — the most conspicuous unwritten page in the brief. Read →↗done
T6An SBOM of the estate, plus a licence audit in CI. Roughly a day's work, and it converts the labelling argument↗ from proposal to demonstration. First on the build order.↗next
T7The four agent-era theses — named on the agents page, none written↗. The most original writing still available.open
T8A licence taxonomy — copyleft vs permissive as a position, compatibility, AGPL, source-available. The history research supplies the ground.↗open
T9A published trademark policy — the clearest unforced gap in the self-audit↗, and it costs almost nothing.open
T10Separately license the schemas (CC0 or CC BY), which is the cheapest self-audit fix and has no argument against it.open
T11Visual assets — a timeline, a licence-family diagram, a map of the estate. On the build order.↗open
T12Verify the marked-unverified facts in the research document — several founding dates and licences are flagged. Nothing flagged has been published as established.↗open
T14Link the sources this site names.The HBS paper↗ and the Mozilla interview↗ are now linked; OSSRA, the Stack Overflow survey, the kernel release notes and the Let's Encrypt telemetry are still named without a URL. A site whose credibility position is that it checks other people's citations should make its own followable — by a reader and by the agents it says are its primary audience↗.open
T13Get indexed — the top rung of the ladder, and the real fix↗. The other three rungs are shipped.open

Corrections

None yet — the site is new. Corrections will be recorded here with the date and what changed, rather than being applied silently. A site that corrects other people's numbers↗ has to show its own working when it gets something wrong.
