This is an **archive of members' raw working notes** — unpolished material kept for reference and continuity. It is not a maintained, reader-facing section.

**If you're new, start elsewhere:**

- For short orientations on democracy topics, see [Concepts](../concepts/index.md).
- For organisations we track, see the [Democracy Landscape](../organisations/index.md) — this is now the maintained reference. The two org link-lists below originated here and are gradually being migrated into it; they still contain entries not yet moved across.
