Crate moot

Crate moot 

Expand description

Moot, the Mere platform’s places port.

A moot is an assembly and the ground it is held on. This port is the first-party application surface for the family’s shared spaces, and it carries two surfaces rather than one, because the workflows separate cleanly and their consumers do not want them together:

  • murmur — the conversation surface. Direct and invitation-scoped conversations, store-and-forward mail, history, drafts, delivery, refusal and retry, attachments through shared content custody, and calls once the transport and media receipts support them. Its model is mere-comms (the WASM-clean inbox: Conversation, Message, Draft, and the ProtocolAdapter seam).
  • moot — the community surface. Find, preview, join, leave and reconnect ceremony; membership and role inspection; proposals, decisions, moderation and appeals; storage and compute contributions; space health, replication and reachability.

murmur must mount alone. Signalman wants messages and voice drops without governance UI, and that constraint is what keeps the two surfaces honestly separable rather than one screen with tabs.

The boundaries are the point:

  • Not the governance authority. That is gemot, which owns a moot’s lifecycle, membership, constitution, and trust facts. Tier 3 federation is moothold.
  • Not the exchange. That is murm, which owns the post grammar, the signed per-author log, admission, and the sync lanes.
  • Not the shared graph. That is the commons spine over chartulary, and not the replication mechanics either, which are stickleback’s.
  • Not a Turnstone feature. The 2026-07-28 place-port plan ruled a place a Turnstone composition; the 2026-08-22 suite census reversed the application half of that ruling and left the authority half standing. Turnstone composes this port like any other host.

The package is mere-moot because crates.io moot is held by an unrelated crate with real code, and murmur is likewise taken. The library keeps the product name.

No implementation yet.
