Determine the title, material version, deliverables, author/editor and feedback time. Non-public material is provided with permission.

Keep the source, modification basis and unconfirmed issues, and provide feedback from the author or editor before discussing revision and adoption.
04 · Record results and follow-up intentions
Confirm release scope, attribution, and version; public contributions require consent before discussing continued participation or other roles.

Start with a small task.

There is currently no active team, admitted members, or commitment schedule. Clear collaboration directions and participation paths are provided here; the actual work starts after receiving the intention, confirming the materials and the person in charge.

The intention to participate and the inclusion of public figures are handled separately. You can just participate in exchanges, or you can also contribute think tank content, book editing and professional opinions.
