Six-part expansion plan

1

Catalog

Group downloads by mission, education, software, observatory, and archive class.

2

Normalize

Use stable names, README files, timestamps, and checksum records.

3

Review

Check for secrets, private IPs, raw credentials, and location-sensitive data.

4

Publish

Place approved files into public folders with branded landing pages.

5

Teach

Connect downloads to Learning Center modules and observatory workflows.

6

Verify

Maintain route checks, checksums, and rollback snapshots for each category.

Public safety boundary

Downloads should be reviewed before publication. Public files should not contain credentials, private LAN details, unredacted control endpoints, unpublished personal information, or raw observatory data that could expose private locations or security-sensitive infrastructure.
