I want to learn about Cofacts

• Cofacts website — the fact-checking database and LINE Bot
• wiki/projects/ — background, goals, and evolution of key initiatives
• wiki/people/ — core contributors, their roles and focus areas
• wiki/activities/ — how recurring events (小聚 meetups, 大松 hackathons) are run
• src/research/ — research docs: related work and design alternatives for a requirement
• src/technical-design/ — design docs: requirements, change scopes, migration steps

I want to look up past records

Meeting notes from 2017 onwards are stored by year under src/meetings/:

src/meetings/
  2017/
  2018/
  ...
  2026/YYYYMMDD.md

Each file has a resource field linking back to the original HackMD document. You can search across all notes on GitHub, or locally with:

git grep "keyword" src/meetings/

When a topic recurs across multiple meetings, wiki/ will have a summary page that links back to the relevant meeting notes.

Repository structure

src/meetings/YYYY/YYYYMMDD.md   # raw weekly meeting notes (2017 – present)
src/research/                    # research docs: related work and design alternatives
src/technical-design/            # design docs: requirements, change scopes, migration steps
wiki/
  people/                        # contributors
  projects/                      # initiatives and workstreams
  activities/                    # recurring events
  index.md

wiki/ content is distilled from meeting notes by an AI agent and merged after human review.
