The reference library

The community maintains a curated reference library: the STAR resource and Consent Handbook on Quaggapedia, AfrikaBurn's WELL policy and standard-of-conduct pages, Sideburn's code of conduct and good-standing policy, and Loomio as a decision framework — with the honest caveat that Quaggapedia content is not always implementable or clear, and an open question of which resources are still lacking.

Deliberately left open

GTC-080 — which resources are lacking is open; Stage 2 will surface more.

Which reference resources are still lacking

The library lists known resources (STAR, Consent Handbook, WELL, Sideburn's policies, Loomio) but GTC-080 leaves open which resources are still missing; Stage 2 will surface more, and the sources caveat that Quaggapedia content isn't always clear or implementable.

If left open A reference library with unknown gaps gives false confidence — members and admins may assume guidance exists where it doesn't, and lean on material that isn't actually implementable.

Options for resolution

  • Run a gap analysis in Stage 2 and commission the missing resources
  • Mark each library entry for clarity/implementability so gaps are visible
  • Assign a curator to keep the library current and flag what's still needed
