open-aid-ledger

Start Here

Open Aid Ledger is a reusable template for making a support workflow easier to inspect: public status, ledger records, transparency reports, review evidence, and safety checks live in one repository.

The project is not accepting donations right now. Do not send funds.

What do you want to do?

I want to understand the project quickly

Start with the public dashboard.

It explains what the project is, what is currently active, what is blocked, and where to go next.

I want to see a working example

Open the Reproducible Sample Walkthrough.

It uses fictional sample records. You can validate the ledger and generate a transparency report locally without connecting to a blockchain or using real funds.

I may want to donate in the future

Read the Donor Quickstart and Donor FAQ.

For now, the answer is simple: support collection is inactive and no receiving details are published.

I want to operate or adapt this template

Start with the Dry-run Operations Runbook.

Use fictional or sample data first. The runbook walks through status checks, privacy review, ledger validation, report generation, reconciliation, freeze handling, and go/no-go review.

I want to review whether the workflow is ready

Use the Review Packet Template and Operational Readiness Matrix.

The purpose is to record evidence and blockers, not to assume that document existence means approval.

A simple mental model

Think of the repository as four layers:

1. Public status — tells people what is active and what is not.
2. Ledger and report — shows the public-safe record of incoming and outgoing amounts.
3. Review evidence — records what was checked and what remains unresolved.
4. Safety controls — prevent live operation from being implied before a separate approval process.

Most people only need the first two layers. Maintainers and reviewers use the deeper material when required.

Current status

In plain language:

• the repository/template release is published;
• the sample workflow can be reproduced;
• donation collection is not active;
• no live receiving wallet is published;
• live operation has not been approved.

Machine-readable status:

DONATIONS_ACTIVE: NO
WALLETS_PUBLISHED: NO
ACTIVATION_APPROVED: NO
GO_LIVE: NO

If any public page says donations or wallets are inactive, do not send funds.

Maintainer control reference

Most visitors do not need this section. It preserves the deeper operating contract and regression wording used by maintainers and automated checks.

This is the operating cockpit reference for the repository.

EASY_TO_ACCESS: YES
EASY_TO_USE: YES
EASY_TO_SHARE: YES
USER_DASHBOARD: YES

Donor path

Use the donor documents and the public status first.

IF DONATIONS_ACTIVE is NO OR WALLETS_PUBLISHED is NO:
    DO_NOT_SEND

Maintainer path

The dry-run evidence loop remains the deeper operating path:

examples/dry-run/README.md
examples/dry-run/DRY_RUN_001_REVIEW_PACKET.sample.md
docs/DRY_RUN_OPERATIONS_RUNBOOK.md

IF any blocker remains:
    GO_LIVE = NO

Reviewer path

Review evidence, unresolved blockers, privacy, reconciliation, freeze handling, and the current go/no-go state.

Current control snapshot:

DRY_RUN_EVIDENCE_LOOP_READY: YES
DASHBOARD_READY: YES
RECEIVING_CHANNEL_PUBLICATION: BLOCKED
DONATION_ACTIVATION: BLOCKED
GO_LIVE: NO
