AI Documentation Stewardship Council

The AI Documentation Stewardship Council establishes a framework for collaborative knowledge sharing and management of AI documentation resources. Our mission is to create a sustainable ecosystem where contributors and users alike benefit from shared knowledge.

2-Tier Trust Charter

Our Trust Charter is based on a simple yet powerful principle: those who contribute to the collective knowledge base also become its beneficiaries.

Tier 1: Trustors

Trustors are individuals and organizations who contribute their AI documentation, knowledge, and resources to the Trust under an MIT license. As a Trustor, you:

• Contribute original documentation and resources related to AI knowledge management
• License your contributions under the MIT license for use by the Trust
• Maintain attribution rights for your original work
• Participate in governance decisions proportional to your contributions
• Help establish documentation standards and best practices

Tier 2: Beneficiaries

All Trustors automatically become Beneficiaries of the Trust, receiving:

• An MIT license to use all Trust intellectual property
• Access to the complete collection of AI documentation resources
• The right to build upon and modify Trust resources
• Recognition in the contributor community
• Participation in the Council’s decision-making processes

How It Works

1. Contribution: Contributors submit AI documentation, workflows, templates, or knowledge management resources.

2. License Assignment: All contributions are licensed under the MIT license, allowing for broad use with attribution.

3. Acceptance: The Stewardship Council reviews and accepts contributions based on quality standards.

4. Beneficiary Status: Upon acceptance, contributors automatically receive beneficiary status, granting them an MIT license to all Trust-managed content.

5. Ongoing Development: Beneficiaries can use, modify, and build upon any Trust resources, creating a virtuous cycle of knowledge enhancement.

Benefits of Participation

• Knowledge Expansion: Access a growing repository of high-quality AI documentation resources
• Community Support: Connect with fellow contributors and knowledge management experts
• Simplified Licensing: Clear MIT licensing removes barriers to collaboration
• Attribution: Receive recognition for your contributions to the knowledge base
• Influence: Shape the future of AI documentation best practices

Trust Charter Principles

The Trust operates on these core principles:

3. Reciprocity: Those who contribute should benefit proportionally
4. Quality: High standards ensure valuable resources for all
5. Sustainability: The Trust structure ensures long-term viability
