III Forum In development

Communities built on weak tools die fast. Communities built around real work compound. 论坛 · 工具先行

— Why the forum is closed (for now)

A forum for researchers, students, and travellers reading the same routes is coming. We are deliberately holding it back until the research tools are mature — because a forum without good tools is a wasteland, and a forum with them becomes the most valuable room in the museum.

What opens when it opens.

Roadmap · 2026 H2
01
Publish a Studio.
Turn any Studio into a public note — chapter summaries, cited claims, the knowledge graph — readable by anyone with the link.
02
Threads per site.
Each of the 98 cities gets a discussion thread. New interpretations, dating debates, fieldwork updates — pinned where they belong.
03
Reading groups.
Small cohorts (3–12 people) working through the same monograph or research question, sharing one Studio.
∞
Tools first, community next.
We're taking our time. When people arrive, the work will already be worth talking about.
