I think it would be interesting to add a 'Readings' section to the site, listing the titles with links to the articles and their authors, featuring texts written by contributors that led to this project as well as other interesting content. This would allow us to share the ideation process so people can understand that this is a well-founded project that has been in development for some time. The following two blog posts by @toderash would be an excellent example of the kind of content worth sharing: https://yawp.foo/articles/2024/unmasking-the-tragedy-of-the-commons/ https://yawp.foo/articles/2024/why-unmasking-the-tragedy-of-the-commons-matters/ 'Readings' could work, but since English isn't my native language, there might be a better option.
