Pass It Forward · Contribution Intake

Public contribution intake is temporarily closed.

The earlier private-review workflow remains preserved, but new rich public submissions are paused while the contribution system is reconciled to The Way Contribution Architecture 1.0.

This is a governance pause, not a retreat from Shared Wisdom. The objective is to reopen only when the process can protect contributor ownership, authority, privacy, minors and vulnerable contributors, correction and withdrawal rights, storage and AI-analysis boundaries, and publication permission with the rigor the philosophy now requires.

Before reopening

The production gate requires eight controls.

Permission Schema

Granular authority and permitted-use choices.

Review Protocol

Clear acceptance, restriction, decline, preservation, review, and decision rules.

Minor / Vulnerable Policy

Heightened consent, privacy, retention, and withdrawal safeguards.

Acceptance & Safety

Handling for unlawful, unsafe, abusive, malicious, or disproportionately harmful material.

Public UX & Notices

Plain-language explanation of rights, choices, risks, and boundaries.

Correction & Withdrawal

A route to challenge representation and withdraw future controlled publication.

Storage & AI Controls

Enforceable privacy, retention, access, and analysis boundaries.

Legal Review

Appropriate review of licensing, privacy, copyright, retention, deletion, terms, and jurisdiction.

Existing work remains preserved

The private review infrastructure is not being discarded.

The review console, storage pathway, publication workflow, and prior permission records remain part of the implementation history. They can be upgraded and reused once the complete production gate is satisfied.

No new public submission form is exposed on this page while the gate remains open.
