OpenStewardship is a project focused on sustainability and stewardship of open infrastructure.
The goal is to build open, practical, and durable systems that contribute to stronger digital ecosystems and knowledge infrastructure.
Focus Areas
OpenStewardship examines how open infrastructure can remain sustainable over time through better governance, stewardship models, and maintenance planning.
- Stewardship Frameworks — Practical models for assigning responsibility and long-term care.
- Infrastructure Sustainability — Systems for evaluating durability, maintenance needs, and ecosystem dependencies.
- Risk and Continuity — Frameworks for understanding maintenance risk and continuity planning.
- Funding Models — Research and tooling around financial sustainability for open systems.
Why It Exists
Many open systems struggle with fragmentation, weak standards, and inconsistent long-term stewardship. OpenStewardship exists to help address those gaps through practical tooling, specifications, and research.
Current Status
This project is currently in active development. Initial repositories, specifications, and public documentation will be released incrementally.
