A guild with no hall.

iii. the craft

Make your own templates.

Begin with 35 standard letters, with guidance, and a shared set of workflows. Copy one. Cut it to fit. It keeps its history, the way a good drawing keeps its rubbings-out.

iv. the passing on

Or share yours.

What you know, someone taught you. Offer a workflow back. Reviewers outside your practice look it over. Once it is accepted, every practice can use it, with your practice’s name on it.

workflows only, for now

v. the locked drawer

Your data stays yours.

Private by default, enforced in the database. Other practices see only what you post in a workshop or offer back. Leave a workshop whenever you like. Belonging is not the same as being watched.

Nothing to install.
