    The first entries were drafted by Claude from the public GitHub record while this website was built.

    1. Proposal

      Sessions version 2, sealed sending and MLS groups proposed

      A proposal to hide who starts a conversation, encrypt message headers, make messages smaller, let people who have already spoken write without either site learning the sender, and move groups to the MLS standard. It is an open pull request, awaiting human cryptographic review, and is not part of the protocol.

    2. Proposal

      A social protocol for Secure Net proposed

      A proposal for actors, activities, end-to-end encrypted delivery, signed repositories and extensible schemas, using a familiar social vocabulary on Secure Net's own wire format. It is an open pull request and has not been reviewed by a person.

    3. Project

      Commonveil 0.23: a first step onto Secure Net sessions

      Commonveil can now add Secure Net's quantum-resistant sessions to direct messages as an opt-in, experimental layer, and gained a forum that follows each protocol proposal. Version 0.23.1 followed the same day to fix a blank page after signing in. Neither has been independently reviewed.

    4. Proposal

      A standards framework for Secure Net proposed

      A proposal for how the parts of the specification are numbered, versioned and registered, with a conformance statement and a checker that compares the code with the documents. It is an open pull request.

    5. Project

      Post-quantum end-to-end sessions added to Secure Net (0.4.0)

      Secure Net gained sessions between devices that combine an established key exchange with a quantum-resistant one and keep changing keys as people talk. They were written with AI assistance and merged for review; no human cryptographer has examined them yet.

    6. Project
    7. Website

      Public website blueprint proposed

      A brief for this website was proposed, covering its content, design, a conditional Stripe support plan and a launch checklist. Implementation is tracked in issue #9.

    8. Proposal

      Draft policies opened for discussion

      Proposals for governance, AI-assisted development and releases, existing project intake and a unified operating handbook were published as pull requests. None of them is ratified yet.

    9. Decision

      FileGuide selected as the first discovery project

      FileGuide, an accessible, privacy-first, read-only guide to storage and duplicate files, was chosen as the first concept to research. Development has not started.

    10. Decision

      Founding Charter v1.1 approved

      The founder approved the charter: our mission, vision, ten principles and founding promise. It did not create a company or legal entity, adopt a governance mechanism or release any software.
