Private knowledge archive structure

Keeping the knowledge base inside the repository as maintainable content storage rather than exposing it directly on the public site.

Private knowledge archive structure

The knowledge base was intentionally not kept as a public route. That was a deliberate architectural decision rather than an omission.

Why it stays private

Knowledge-base material is often half-formed by design: drafts, outlines, internal indexes, references, and still-evolving decisions. Publishing that raw layer usually lowers clarity rather than increasing value.

Why it still deserves a proper structure

Private does not mean unstructured.

If the archive is going to keep growing, it still needs:

  • one folder per entry
  • room for images, files, and related artifacts
  • a path to later become public writing or project material

Current model

The archive now lives under content/knowledge/, following the same folder-first convention as public content, but it is deliberately excluded from the public content registry.

That keeps something important true: public publishing and internal storage share one organizational model without sharing one public contract.
