Buckyverse Wiki: Open Questions & Unresolved Gaps

Audit of the wiki's state as of 2026-08-10, identifying all pending work, coverage gaps, infrastructure issues, and quality concerns.

Statistics Snapshot

  • Wiki articles: 435 across 7 buckets (people 238, works 102, concepts 35, references 26, topics 22, organizations 12, theses 0)
  • Raw sources: 447 (repos 217, articles 213, papers 11, notes 6)
  • Outputs: 12 artifacts + 2 projects
  • Confidence: 114 high / 134 medium / 187 low

P0 — Blocking

1. TODO-18: Entity type coverage for places and events

The schema defines place and event entity types but only 4 place articles and 2 event articles exist, all in wiki/topics/ with no dedicated buckets. This is the current branch's active work.

  • Places: dome-home, triton-city, center-for-spirituality-and-sustainability, montreal-biosphere
  • Events: the-utopian-impulse, synergetic-circus

P1 — Important

2. Relationship graph script broken after bucket split

output/projects/relationship-graph/build_graph.py hardcodes wiki/topics/ as its sole source of entity pages. After the bucket restructuring, it sees only 22 articles and misses all 238 people, 12 organizations, and 102 works. The graph needs to scan wiki/people/, wiki/organizations/, and wiki/works/.

3. Wiki.js → Astro cutover still pending

Phase 0 (pre-flight) and Phase 1b (bulk redirects) are DONE. But the actual cutover remains: DNS migration, custom domain setup on Cloudflare Pages, production verification, 7-day rollback window, and droplet retirement. Runbook at dev/wikijs/CUTOVER-RUNBOOK.md.

4. public_site/ is redundant with apps/reader/

public_site/ was scaffolded during TODO-18 as a standalone Astro site using @r26d/llm-wiki-theme, but apps/reader/ is the production site serving future.buckyverse.org. The scaffolding should be removed or repurposed.

5. 8 acceptance items awaiting human review

ACC-1 through ACC-13 have unchecked accuracy criteria: Dante research reports, voice-synthesis recipe, coined-terms dictionary, Dome Cookbook transcription, person/organization/reference entity pages, and relationship backfill. See work/ACCEPTANCE.md.

P2 — Should Do

6. 552 missing See Also backlinks

The 2026-08-10 lint run found 552 one-directional cross-references (A→B exists but B→A does not). Recommended: a dedicated wiki:librarian pass to batch-fix.

7. 247 uncompiled raw sources

247 raw sources have no corresponding compiled article. Most are thin Zotero stubs from the 2026-06-30 bulk ingest. The substantial ones were compiled in the 2026-07-02 full compile; remainder are low-value.

8. 187 low-confidence articles

Mostly stub compilations from the initial legacy migration. Many are 32-line person pages with minimal sourcing.

9. wiki/_index.md is stale

Says "114 articles" and "Last updated: 2026-06-27" but actual count is 435 across 7 buckets. Missing People, Organizations, and Works from the category table.

10. Uncompiled source coverage report stale

wiki/references/uncompiled-source-coverage.md was generated 2026-07-02 and doesn't reflect subsequent compilations.

11. Output source paths broken after bucket split

output/reading-list-buckminster-fuller-2026-06-28.md has sources: pointing to wiki/topics/ paths. After the bucket split, many moved to works/, people/, etc.

12. 12 open TODOs not yet started

TODO-1 (reader highlights), TODO-2 (migrate every book), TODO-5 (metal models), TODO-7 (visual Synergetics Dictionary), TODO-9 (AI podcast), TODO-10 (sculpture), TODO-12 (iOS app), TODO-13 (email contact), TODO-14 (Obsidian plugin), TODO-15 (chatbot), TODO-19 (entity inventory lists), plus TODO-3/4 (Wiki.js safety).

13. IMP-21: codexis re-migration program (52/60 books)

Only 8/60 readable books have a codexis project. 52 need new projects scaffolded before compile-time purple numbers or MathML can be added.

P3 — Future / Nice-to-Have

14. Theses bucket is empty

wiki/theses/ exists in the schema and config but has no articles.

15. Data raw bucket is empty

raw/data/ has 0 entries — no structured data sources ingested yet.

16. Superseded output not archived

The 2026-06-28 timeline is superseded by the 2026-08-10 version but both remain in the output index.

17. Wiki.js tech debt (DEBT-2, DEBT-3, DEBT-4)

Git storage disabled, DB image binary preservation, iframe security toggle. Low priority if Astro cutover completes.

18. IMP-15: Organization entities Batch 2

Long-tail organizations (publishers, agencies, companies) scoped but deferred.

19. DEF-2: Dome Cookbook codexis ebook build

Full typeset edition deferred until download demand or diagram tooling improves.

20. IMP-6/IMP-7: Readability extraction and slug dedup

Ingested article bodies contain nav chrome. ~150 Zotero repo pointers may duplicate existing book dirs.

21. Library bucket for physical collection tracking

Mentioned as future work — an inventory bucket for tracking physical items in the collection.

22. IMP-10: Weekly updates/changelog mechanism

No updates/ section or periodic digest mechanism exists.

23. No volatility-hot articles

Expected for a historical corpus but means no article is flagged for frequent monitoring.

Priority Summary

Priority Count Key items
P0 1 Entity type coverage (places/events)
P1 4 Graph script broken, cutover pending, public_site redundant, acceptance backlog
P2 8 Backlinks, uncompiled sources, low-confidence stubs, stale indexes, broken output paths, open TODOs, codexis program
P3 10 Empty theses/data buckets, superseded outputs, tech debt, deferred work, library bucket

Recommended Next Actions

  1. Fix the relationship graph to scan all entity buckets (P1, small fix)
  2. Remove or archive public_site/ (P1, cleanup)
  3. Regenerate wiki/_index.md via lint (P2, quick)
  4. Run wiki:librarian for the 552 missing backlinks (P2, batch operation)
  5. Schedule cutover when ready for DNS migration (P1, human decision)
