Overview

The project empowers a global community to keep publishing accessible and lawful, without needing permission from gatekeepers. Our mission centers on creators, researchers, educators, and independent voices who rely on a reliable, open publishing landscape. Donations fuel the infrastructure, governance, and outreach that sustain this work, ensuring that openness remains a practical, scalable option for storytellers and scholars everywhere. By supporting this initiative, you help preserve the space where ideas can be shared freely and responsibly, with safeguards that protect both authors and readers.

We operate with clear intent. The project is designed to be resilient, multilingual, and future-facing, so publishing freedom endures as technologies evolve. Your contribution supports maintenance of the core platform, ongoing accessibility work, and a steady cadence of transparent updates that invite participation from writers, readers, and volunteers around the world. This isn't about a momentary push; it's about sustaining a long-term ecosystem where publishing remains a shared right and a shared duty.

Why Your Support Matters

Support from partners and readers powers three durable outcomes. First, it underwrites the reliability and safety of publishing workflows so that content can be produced and shared without unnecessary friction. Second, it expands access by enabling multilingual interfaces, inclusive design, and open documentation that lowers barriers for new contributors. Third, it strengthens community governance so decisions about direction and priorities come from a broad base rather than a single interest.

Within the project, your generosity translates into tangible progress. It funds ongoing platform development, hosting and bandwidth, and the creation of resources that explain rights, permissions, and best practices to both creators and readers. It also supports outreach to schools, libraries, and grassroots organizations that depend on accessible publishing to reach broader audiences. By contributing, you help ensure that the project remains adaptable, accountable, and aligned with the needs of a diverse global audience.

How Donations Are Used

To keep this work sustainable and transparent, donations are allocated across several priorities. Development receives targeted support for features that improve authoring tools, rights configuration, and publish workflows. Hosting and infrastructure funds ensure uptime and performance, even as traffic scales. Public reporting becomes more robust through regular financial disclosures, governance updates, and open metrics that track milestones and impact. Outreach efforts, including multilingual content and community events, broaden participation and deepen trust. Accessibility improvements ensure readers with different abilities can engage with materials, while audits and security reviews protect privacy and integrity. Finally, governance investments empower community members to contribute to roadmaps, reviews, and policy discussions that guide the project’s future.

Each of these areas is designed to be verifiable and auditable. We publish accessible summaries, provide clear lines of communication for questions, and welcome feedback from contributors at every level. This approach ensures that every donation—whether modest or substantial—directly advances concrete outcomes that strengthen the publishing freedom ecosystem for everyone involved.

We publish open metrics and governance notes so supporters can see the direct connection between generosity and impact.
