Codex Orientation

Welcome to the iLRN Codex Orientation. This page is your guide for understanding how to navigate, contribute, and thrive within our shared knowledge base and delegation hub.

The Codex is not just a library of documents—it’s the operating system of iLRN. It connects people, projects, and processes, ensuring that our global network works together with clarity and purpose.

Why the Codex Matters

Shared Understanding: Everyone, from Special Track Chairs to Content Writers, works from the same playbook.
Delegation Hub: Tasks and updates live here first, triggering actions across our network.
Collective Memory: By recording our knowledge, we prevent burnout, duplication, and confusion.
Transparency & Trust: Members can see who is responsible for what and how decisions are being carried out.

Your First Steps

Read Your Role Page
- Start with the section that matches your role (Chair, Steward, Volunteer, Partner).
- If you don’t see your role, contact your Coordinator or add a draft page.
Log Your First Update
- If you have a responsibility (e.g., adding a Program Committee member), record it here as the first step.
- Remember: If it isn’t in the Codex, it isn’t real.
Use the Templates
- Access checklists, forms, and sample workflows provided for your area.
- Templates are designed to save time and keep consistency across the network.

How We Work in the Codex

Capture → Assign → Confirm
- Every request is captured in Codex.
- The task is assigned to the correct steward or chair.
- Completion is confirmed in the Codex and communicated outward.
Weekly Stewardship
- Each week, stewards check their pages, close loops, and update progress.
Monthly Sync
- Leadership reviews Codex entries, resolves gaps, and aligns global initiatives.

Expectations for Everyone

Keep It Current: Outdated pages weaken the network. Update as soon as changes occur.
Be Clear & Concise: Write so others can step in and understand your work without explanation.
Respect the Hub: Treat Codex entries as official records, not rough notes.
Collaborate in Public: Use Codex pages, not private emails, for shared tasks.
