[ account access and membership ]
The private member workroom, explained
An approved platform account can unlock working tools for the projects and circles Jules assigns you to. That access is not the same as becoming an official member of the Compass Commons organization.
[ two sides, one place ]
The commons and the workroom
[ the commons · open to everyone ]
Reading, guides, and gatherings
The story, the co-op guides, the visa and work-trade guidance, the calendar, and the newsletter. No account, no application, nothing to sign. This is for anyone who is curious, anyone starting a co-op, and anyone deciding whether this is for them.
Stay in the commons[ the workroom · needs an account ]
Doing the work together
Meetings, decisions, task boards, land records, plans, and funding trails for real places. It is separate because it holds working details about people and land, not because it is a secret. This is for people already building a place with us.
Ask for an accountThe commons never closes when you sign in. An account simply adds the workroom pages, and you can step back out to the public side at any time.

Three different things, kept clear
Anyone can read the public site and use public resources such as the Co-op Coven and the Visas & Work Trade guide. An approved account opens only the working tools and groups Jules assigns. Official membership in the Compass Commons organization is a separate relationship decided together, and no donation or amount of work buys it.
