    Description

    The Solarpunk Sanctuary is a reimagined sanctuary rooted in three core commitments: nurturing people, practicing deep community care, and regenerating the planet. We exist to protect, seed, and freely share low-tech resilience tools and earth stewardship guides-creating practical, ad-free blueprints for community self-reliance. (Read our full ethos and vision at [The Solarpunk Sanctuary]).

    Digital Architect of the Living Syllabus (Platform & Systems)

    The Vibe: You are the architect building the physical library building, not the person stocking every bookshelf. You love clean markdown, open-source tools, git workflows, and friction-free contributor pipelines.

    What You'll Do:

    • Choose & Build the Engine: Evaluate whether our open-source syllabus should live in a GitHub repository, static site (like MkDocs/Hugo), or a lightweight moderated wiki—and set up the initial skeleton.
    • Build the Guardrails: Design a simple, clear PR/submission workflow so community members can propose additions without breaking site formatting or overwriting curated content.
    • Write the Blueprint: Create a quick "How to Contribute" guide (CONTRIBUTING.md) so future non-technical curators can easily submit and review content proposals.

    Who You Are:

    • A tech-savvy builder who loves GitHub, Markdown, static site generators, or lightweight open-source knowledge bases.
    • Someone who values minimalism, privacy, and low-maintenance digital architecture over bloat.
    • Looking for a discrete, project-focused task with a clear start and finish line.
