=== Profile ===

You are in the right place if you are a ''technician'' working as IT staff or as a volunteer at a movement-aligned organizations, where you are tasked with:

* identification,
* evaluation,
* configuration,
* customization and
* ongoing maintenance and support of software and hardware that supports your group’s mission.

<span id="proficiency-assumptions"></span>
=== Proficiency Assumptions ===

You should be at least at ‘power user’ level, comfortable with:

* config files

* IT operations basics
** Web, Internet, and cloud concepts
** basic security

<span id="unique-challenges"></span>
=== Unique Challenges ===

You likely need to deal with constraints that technicians in corporate, government and military settings don’t worry much about:

* shoe-string budgets,
* deplatforming risks, and
* ethical considerations

See [[New Submissions]] for further discussion of how these criteria factor into our structured protocol for recommending new products and services.

<span id="site-organization"></span>
== Site Organization ==

Content is organized as a shallow hierarchy, moving from broad generalized domains of organizational concern to operational areas within a domain (and potentially, an intervening sub-area) – all the way down to the level of individual tools (one per page).

* ''Domain →''
** ''Operational Area →''
*** ''Operational Sub-area →''
**** ''Task →''
***** ''Candidate Tool''

See [[Site Organization]] for more details.

== Long Term Vision ==

<span id="wiki---database"></span>
=== Wiki -&gt; Database ===

We have formalized the procedure for adding new content to this site so that each entry for a recommended tool has a known structure (schema). We plan to leverage this known structure when we start feeding a database with this site’s content.

<span id="database---tool-for-ai-agent"></span>
=== Database -&gt; Tool for AI Agent ===

Longer term we plan to expose our content as a tool that be consumed by AI language models via [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Context_Protocol Model Context Protocol]. The goal is to enable conversations along the lines of: “I am looking for a low (or no) cost tool to streamline the process of submitting my organization’s weekly events to various community calendars.”
