Now (this month)
1. "Graduated Trust in Practice" — Article (Priority: Critical)
Why: The Devin case study is the perfect narrative vehicle. It proves the problem exists today. Links the abstract proposal to concrete reality.
Form: Long-form article (3-4k words)
Audience: Open source maintainers, AI safety community, P2P developers
Dependencies: None — all source material exists
Links: Graduated Trust proposal, Devin case study
2. "Seed Already Has the Trust Primitives" — Companion Essay (Priority: Critical) [NEW]
Why: The Community Models document shows Seed already has the dual trust model (formal communities + web of trust) that Graduated Trust needs. This essay bridges the theory to Seed's actual implementation, proving Graduated Trust isn't theoretical — it's buildable on Seed today.
Form: Medium-length article (2k words)
Audience: Seed adopters, OSS foundation security teams, P2P developers
Dependencies: Graduated Trust in Practice (#1) should publish first
Links: Community Models, Graduated Trust
3. "How We're Building an LLM-Powered Wiki Into Seed" — Architectural Essay (Priority: High) [NEW]
Why: The LLM Wiki spec is a 3,000-word blueprint. It demonstrates Seed's architectural philosophy: build on existing primitives (no new storage), respect human intent (human-curated flag), design for self-healing (version tracking, periodic regeneration). This is content gold for system architects and knowledge management enthusiasts.
Form: Technical architectural essay (3-4k words)
Audience: System architects, knowledge management community, LLM application builders
Dependencies: None — spec is complete
4. Seed Query Blocks: Architectural Decision Record (Priority: High)
Why: Captures the Rich Hickey-inspired schemaless-with-query-lenses decision before implementation locks in.
Form: Technical ADR + blog post
Audience: Seed contributors, developers evaluating Seed

Next (this quarter)
5. "Two Graphs, One Seed: How Community Models and Web of Trust Power Social UI" — Essay [NEW]
Why: Makes the connection between the community models taxonomy and the social-graph-aware UI pattern explicit. This is a strategic argument about Seed's unified data model — the same graph serves contribution scoring (long distances) and UI relevance (short distances).
Form: Short essay (1.5-2k words) + mockup
Audience: Seed community, P2P product designers
6. "Why Binary Trust Fails" — Argument piece
Why: Establishes the foundational logic for graduated trust. Can be published independently or as part of a series.
7. "Collaborative Annotations on P2P Hypermedia" — Technical essay
Why: Positions the comments feature as a protocol innovation, not just a UI feature.
Timing signal (2026-07-27/28): Comments feature implementation actively progressing. This piece should align with feature launch.
8. "Seed's Trust Model" — Product explainer
Why: Connects Graduated Trust theory to Seed's actual implementation. Useful for onboarding.
