7 == 1. Purpose ==
8 The Transition Model explains how FactHarbor evolves from an early experimental phase to a more stable organisation and, eventually, to a federated ecosystem.
9 == 2. Phases (Illustrative) ==
10 * **Prototype / Proof of Concept** – Very small core team; focus on validating the basic approach.
11 * **Beta** – More users and contributors; governance and processes become clearer and more formal.
12 * **Release 1.x** – Stable operation, documented contributor processes, and clearer separation of roles.
13 * **Federated Phase** – Multiple instances or partners adopt the model; shared governance principles across a network.
14 The exact naming and number of phases can be adapted later, but the idea of deliberate transitions should remain.
15 == 3. Transition Principles ==
16 * Preserve mission and neutrality during growth.
17 * Document which responsibilities move from individuals to shared bodies.
18 * Make role changes and new structures transparent to contributors and users.
19 * Keep early experimental material accessible as historical context.
20 == 4. Practical Use ==
21 This page is intentionally lightweight. More detailed transition plans and roadmaps will be held in project management tools or dedicated XWiki pages when needed.
