# Obsidian Publish Plan
Obsidian Publish Plan is the safety process for deciding what parts of Joe's Mynd can become public.
## Meaning
Publish only public, approved notes.
Do not bulk publish every note with `publish: true`.
Use [[Obsidian Publish V0 Allowlist]] for the first public launch.
Do not publish raw journal entries, private reflections, personal messages, private relationship material, sensitive health material, credentials, operational secrets, or unreviewed drafts that could expose someone else.
Use this vault as the canonical public source of Joe's Mynd.
Use Obsidian Publish as the readable graph layer for Joe's public Mynd.
Use JosephNiemchak.com as the front door and future interactive layer for the yes/no [[Language Alignment Game]] and future Buddy AI.
The recommended first domain architecture is:
- keep `josephniemchak.com` on the current Vercel front door while the site is still experimental
- publish the vault at `mynd.josephniemchak.com` through Obsidian Publish
- link from the Vercel front door into the Publish site
- later, if the Publish experience becomes the main public experience, move the root domain or proxy `/mynd`
The first public audience is The Brotherhood team through [[The Brotherhood Team Start Here]].
The first public goal is not for the team to learn Joe's language. The goal is for the team to use Joe's first draft as a seed for shared mission language.
The first shareable artifact is [[The Brotherhood Team Start Here]], with [[The Brotherhood Mission Language Alignment]] as the mission-specific process and [[Aaron Well-being Ontology One-Pager]] as a compact starter example.
Public notes should be especially careful with [[Source Of Meaning|sources of meaning]]: a note can share the distilled meaning without exposing private source material.
Use [[Private Source Distillation]] when raw private material should inform a public note.
## Source Of Meaning
This note is grounded in Joe's decision to use Obsidian as a public/private Mynd workbench and in the privacy boundary clarified during the Joe-Codex ontology conversation from 2026-06-19.
## Relationship Over Time
This note should mature as Joe learns what is genuinely useful to publish and what should remain private source material.

## Tensions
Publishing should increase shared meaning without exposing private reflection, private relationship material, or unfinished discernment.
## Question
Is this note safe, useful, and approved for public meaning?
