What feeds the bioregion page

A small page of honest bookkeeping. What this page reads, how recently it read it, and what's gone stale — plus other places worth looking directly. Seven sources, one weekly reading, nothing here by accident.
✓ fresh: — ✦ awaiting first ingest: — ⚠ stale: — ☾ resting: — ✗ missing: — manifest only · no local check yet Everything above gets read once a week — end to end, posters included. This manifest is updated after each reading; the dates on this page are the honest record of when.

The sources

Each row is one input that feeds the bioregion page. Left-border colour = state: moss = fresh, orange = stale (overdue a reading), grey = resting (paused on purpose), red = missing, terracotta = awaiting first ingest, gold = external.

Ingestion log

Newest first. Every meaningful pass over a source — first imports, vision-extractions, trust counts, integrations.

Where else to look

Reference sources that sit outside the daily WhatsApp scan — worth checking directly when you want the unfiltered originals.

The weekly reading

How all of the above becomes the page you're looking at.

Every Saturday morning, everything on this page gets read — properly read. The week's messages from the groups above, poster by poster, caption by caption. The newsletter, cover to cover, including the schedule tables. The arts calendar, with a sceptical eye. Duplicates are folded, expired events retire, contact numbers are checked before they're published, and a handful of posters earn a place on the wall — each one looked at before it goes up.

The reading is done by a very patient machine; the taste is still human. When it's finished, a summary lands with the curator, and whatever's still ahead of you lands here. The fuller story of how the page learned to read is on the stories page.
