Public registry view · Kindling v0.1

Registry

Every Pool that the Kindling domain, the invented apps, the invented example sites and the independent curators list in their well-known files, in one place.

Read from the well-known files

Pools, by the site that hosts them

This view is built from each site’s .well-known/kindling-pool file, the discovery file every domain hosting a Pool should publish (§8.3, §10). A registry is one consumer of that file. It must never be the only way a Pool is found (§8.4), and anyone may run one of their own (§8.5). The Circular, an invented consortium newspaper, reads the same files and keeps its own.

Unlisted and invite-only Pools do not appear here. Their curators leave them out of the well-known file, so no crawler or registry sees them. Their addresses travel by hand.

Listing is the curator’s choice, by self-submission. Being in a registry, or not, is never a protocol requirement.

DormantChess After Close went dormant after 90 days without a curation action (§9.1). Its active members are choosing a new curator; the window closes on 2026-10-05 (§9.3).
