What is not included, and why
- Working notes (reading notes, analyses, logs, pending proposals): they serve to establish the translation, not to read it.
- Root entries not yet sealed: they may still change.
- Internal statistical infrastructure: it has not been reviewed as published knowledge.
- Blog posts: they stay on the site.
