Content Roadmap

_Planned content organized by priority and timeframe. Updated 2026-07-24._

---

Now (Current Quarter — Q3 2026)

    | Priority | Content | Type | Status | Dependencies |
|----------|---------|------|--------|--------------|
| P0 | Complete Codesign for Windows guide | Long-form | 🔴 Incomplete — skeleton with placeholder text | Research current EV codesign pricing and HSM flow |
| P0 | Graduated Trust → Seed Protocol RFC | Spec / Protocol | 🟡 Material exists — Seed mapping in essay | Extract and formalize the Seed primitives mapping into a standalone spec |
| P1 | State Machines cluster → comprehensive guide outline | Long-form / Book | 🟡 Needs scoping | Review all 5 posts + Knowledge Map |
| P2 | Fullstack Electron series index doc | Meta / Index | 🟡 Not started | Map gaps across existing content |

Trigger for this update: Graduated Trust essay substantially revised on 2026-07-24, adding explicit Seed protocol mapping. Promoted the Seed RFC to P0 because it converts thought-leadership content into product architecture — highest leverage move available.

Next (Q4 2026)

    | Priority | Content | Type | Status | Reasoning |
|----------|---------|------|--------|-----------|
| P0 | Graduated Trust follow-up: EigenTrust comparison | Long-form | 🟡 Concept exists, not drafted | Establishes academic grounding for the trust proposal |
| P1 | "Building Seed" index + 2 extracted technical posts | Blog series | 🟡 Material exists in weekly reviews | Low effort, high developer audience fit |
| P1 | Graduated Trust: AI PR verification case study | Long-form | ⚪ Not started | Applies the model to the most urgent use case |
| P2 | macOS code signing for Electron (own version) | Long-form | ⚪ Not started | Currently covered by external account; should own this |

Later (2027)

    | Content | Type | Why Later |
|---------|------|-----------|
| State Machines book / video course | Book / Course | Needs outline validation first; could become signature product |
| Fullstack Electron complete series (6+ articles) | Blog series | Each article requires research; pace at 1/month |
| Seed Hypermedia: architecture deep-dive series | Blog series | Project needs to mature before the architecture is stable enough to document |
| Background agents: developer tool pattern | Long-form | Needs more real-world usage before prescribing patterns |
| Trust cluster: Sybil resistance primer | Long-form | Follows from open questions in Graduated Trust — write after Seed RFC is established |
| Trust cluster: Privacy in public trust graphs | Long-form | One of the 5 open questions — write after Seed RFC is established |

---

Evergreen Maintenance

Content that needs periodic updates:

Codesign for Windows — EV codesign pricing changes yearly. Review each Q1.

Velopack: Delta Updates — Pre-1.0 library. Update when 1.0 ships.

Deploy a Seed Site — Seed deploy tool changes. Update when deploy script API changes.

---

Content Principles

Cluster before publishing — Don't publish isolated posts. Build clusters of 3+ related pieces.

Cross-link aggressively — Every article should discoverably connect to its cluster.

Complete before promoting — Don't add links to skeleton pages (see: Codesign lesson).

Own the gaps — If an external account covers part of a territory you own, either write your version or explicitly defer.

Recent Revisions

2026-07-24 — Graduated Trust Seed RFC promoted to P0 in current quarter. The essay revision provides sufficient material to extract a protocol spec. This is higher leverage than any single piece of content because it makes the idea product-relevant. Trust cluster expansion pieces (EigenTrust comparison, AI PR case study) moved to Q4 to follow the RFC.
