A Markdown file can help you ask better questions before an artificial intelligence tool starts writing: what is mine, what can we share, what needs checking, and what should leave a public trail. The simple idea is sovereignty first: people keep the final say over their own story, and public decisions leave receipts people can follow.
Start with what you know and what you are still wondering about: names, worries, draft wording, questions, care needs, family details and planning notes. You can keep this version private or share it only with people who have permission to see it.
Turn the private notes into a clearer working note: what is happening, who is helping, what needs doing, what is confirmed, what is still a question and what sources could be checked.
Share the public version only when it feels ready: the message, date, place, source links, who checked it and how to correct a mistake. That pattern can work on Straddie, or anywhere in Australia that wants clearer public notes.
The technology matters less than the habit. A file is a note. A question is a doorway. A public notice is an approved message. A receipt is proof people can check later.
A plain text note with headings. The file ending is usually `.md`. It can be opened, copied and edited without special software.
A computer tool that can draft, sort, summarise or compare text. It gives better help when you give it the facts, boundaries and sources first.
A private note about needs, preferences, care, reminders, goals and boundaries. In this project family, one common starter file is called `aura.md`.
The short approved version of a person, group, place, event or project that can appear on a site, noticeboard, phone post, kiosk or game world.
A clear message people are allowed to see: what is happening, where, when, who checked it, and where to find the source.
A follow-up record that shows what was promised, what happened, what changed, what needs correction and what still needs work.
No lane has to be forever. You can start private, ask questions, remove details, review with a trusted person, and share only the version that feels ready.
Use this when you are still thinking: personal notes, home, care, identity, spiritual reflection, private contact details and unfinished thoughts.
Try a private profile fileUse this for a club, project team, care circle, grant group, family group or local working crew where people have agreed how sharing works.
See a small file shapeUse this for approved community notices, events, volunteer calls, safety updates, meeting reminders and public summaries people can check.
Visit the Straddie noticeboardsUse this when public money, promises, donations, lobbying, conflicts, edits, procurement, decisions, outcomes or corrections need a visible trail.
Open public-accountability sourcesThese questions make the system easier to try. You do not need the perfect answer; a rough answer gives the computer tool something useful to work with.
Name the real audience: neighbours, club members, carers, visitors, volunteers, council staff, young people, Elders or the general public.
Open the starter file builderWrite the exact information that helps the reader: dates, places, approved contact details, public roles, source links and a plain summary.
Read the privacy pageMark private phone numbers, health details, family matters, children's names, sensitive locations, private stories, cultural knowledge and unconfirmed claims for careful handling.
Use the quick checklistName the person, group or role that reviewed the note. Public posts work better when readers can see who approved the message.
See research sourcesAdd links, dates, file names, photos, meeting notes or public documents so readers can check the trail later.
Open the research libraryGive people a simple way to report an error, update a time, add a source or ask for a private detail to be handled differently.
Read the plain guideA group wants to organise a working bee, invite volunteers and share an update afterwards. One note keeps organiser phone numbers, health needs and planning details private. Another note helps the small team prepare the day. The public notice tells everyone what is happening, where to go and who approved the message. The follow-up record shows what was promised, what happened and what still needs attention.
That is the heart of the system. There is no single correct path. A Markdown note can begin as private context, become a working note for a trusted group, turn into an approved public notice, and finish as a public receipt. The artificial intelligence tool can help draft, shorten, translate, check sources and prepare versions for a wall screen or phone post. People keep the final say.
Needs, preferences, boundaries and care notes that help the person or organiser stay in control.
An approved short profile for a person, role, group, project or place before it appears in public.
The practical facts people need to understand a group, service, maker, venue, event or grant idea.
Plain public information with dates, source links, approval notes and corrections people can follow.
The wider ecosystem can grow from ordinary questions. A private support note helps a person stay in control. A public profile becomes an approved doorway. A noticeboard becomes shared memory. A game-world action can support useful civic life. A public receipt gives people a record they can check later.
Ask what would help the computer tool understand a person, group or project while private details stay in the right hands.
Choose the short, approved version that can appear on a site, kiosk, app or game world when people are ready.
Turn local information into a clear public notice with source links, dates, review notes and a correction path.
Let an approved public character or project join local challenges, learning worlds or public-good leaderboards with fair rules.
Record the promise, decision, money, source, correction and result so people can follow the trail.
Start where your own question feels alive. You can visit a public page to read, try or share it, then open the source files if you want to inspect, copy or adapt the work for your own place.
Start here if you want a public profile for a person, group, project or place, in your own words, with only what you choose to make public.
Start here if the useful work is private: needs, goals, preferences, sensitivities and support context that should stay with you or your trusted circle.
Start here if public information could help people know what is happening, where to go, how to check it and how to correct it.
Start here if trust needs to come before shared rooms, tools, contacts, jobs, grants, media work or a co-operative.
Start here if a good idea needs evidence, partners, dates, responsibilities and a reusable grant story before deadline pressure starts.
Start here if an official page, rule, letter or council process is confusing and you want a calm source trail before anyone sounds too certain.
Start here if public investment should leave shared capability: evidence people can inspect, models people can question and knowledge the community can reuse.
Start here if a story wants to be made with consent, source links, permissions, cultural care and room for human review.
Start here if local resilience begins with bees, growers, researchers, gardens and careful questions that can grow at a human pace.
Start here if conversation begins with public headlines, humour, source checks and recording prompts people can follow back to the source.
Start here if energy bills, solar, batteries, water, marine ideas or shared neighbourhood power need a plain public question trail.
Start here if you are exploring community wealth, mutual help, First Nations data sovereignty and choices families or groups can actually discuss.
Start here if you want to describe a place, scene, avatar, future room or world idea while keeping the privacy setting clear.
Step through this if you want the larger imaginative map: materials, tools, artificial intelligence, robotics, digital twins, consent and human choice.
Step through this if underground systems, quiet power, local materials, ecology and town connection are part of the question.
Use this when you want to look around visually first, see what exists, and choose the next project by feel as much as by topic.
Start here if politics, public participation, receipts and plain civic action brought you into the work.
Start here if one table, song, useful hour, receipt or public action could become a wider trace of joyful responsible abundance.
Start with a boundary question. Then the computer tool can help with the wording while people keep control of identity, consent, public notice and public accountability.
Strange but True
Strange but True is the plain-speaking index for tech help, artificial intelligence confidence, creative projects, event media, grant support and local idea work on Minjerribah. It is a simple doorway into the wider project family: write the context, protect private details, publish useful notes and leave receipts people can follow.
