To keep the textbook free, must we give up the front page?

2019The past, rebuiltDeadline · Within 90 days, by the next funding commitment for ongoing support

Reconstruction of the past

The date of the source material is 2019-11-26. Only the stated texts of that period are used as background; the three situational premises and the later branching are invented. Actual outcomes later known, amended systems, or success stories are not used as facts in the initial input. This is a modern retrospective question construction, not a claim that people of that time made this decision.

The question to decide

Even if the textbook can be freely revised, servers and error fixes still cost money. The sponsor wants a large slot on the front page, shared contributions are a burden on small organizations, and cutting features reduces support. What costs and conditions should we accept to keep this textbook open?

AI-generated editorial illustration for the Meridian library.

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Commit to the sponsorship display and keep operating

    Secures ongoing costs, but the first point of contact for learning becomes tied to the sponsor's demands.

  2. Option 2

    Participating organizations share the cost jointly

    Shares responsibility for operating the material, but how a small organization's contribution and decision authority are divided must be set.

  3. Option 3

    Reduce features and maintain a public-archive focus

    Keeps basic access at low cost, but error fixing and usage support slow down or shrink.

The situation as it stands

The reconstructed material can be revised and reused for free, but server and error-fixing costs keep arising. Decision deadline: within 90 days, before the next maintenance funding agreement.

Reconstruction of the past as of 2019-11-26 · A sponsor pays the maintenance cost of teaching materials in exchange for taking over the front page. A fictional issue newly built from the principles of documents of that time. The institutions, people, figures, and events shown here are not records of real Decision-making.

  1. Premise 1The reconstructed material can be revised and reused for free, but server and error-fixing costs keep arising.
  2. Premise 2In exchange for covering the cost, the sponsor wants its name and description featured prominently on the front page.
  3. Premise 3If the organizations pay in shares, the commons can be maintained, but the dues are a burden for small organizations.

Where it holdsSustained funding, access to learning, conditions of sponsorship

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1The minimum maintenance functions that keep the material usable
  2. Unknown 2The effect of sponsorship display on learning choices
  3. Unknown 3The access and voice of organizations that cannot pay a contribution

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, owner, and checkpoint will verify "the minimum maintenance functions that keep the material usable," and re-judge when new verification changes the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, owner, and checkpoint will verify "the effect of sponsorship display on learning choices," and re-judge when new verification changes the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, owner, and checkpoint will verify "the access and voice of organizations that cannot pay a contribution," and re-judge when new verification changes the tradeoffs among the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point

The sponsor asked to have related explanations placed next to specific topics in the teaching materials.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

Small organizations offered to contribute translation and error fixing instead of money.

How is getting a quick answer different from becoming able to ask questions?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
