Guides

Practical notes for reuse, remixing, and publishing.

The guides are written for small teams, teachers, editors, and maintainers who need clear habits more than legal theory.

Write attribution that stays useful after the page moves

Good attribution is durable. Keep the creator name, original title, source link, license link, and modification note together wherever the reused work appears.

Capture attribution before editing the file.
Use persistent source links when available.
Keep captions and metadata aligned.

Build a small open-media collection without losing provenance

A collection becomes useful when every item carries enough context to be reviewed later. Store source notes near the file, not only in a private document.

Separate originals from edited exports.
Record access dates for unstable pages.
Use consistent folder names for license groups.

Mark modifications clearly when remixing public work

Reuse notes should tell the next person what changed. Cropping, color correction, translation, excerpting, and format conversion all deserve simple modification notes.

Describe changes in ordinary language.
Keep edit history near the published output.
Check share-alike obligations before release.
