How contributing works
Your first contribution, without the machinery.
Find a useful piece of work, follow its brief and submit your evidence. Terraveler handles the editorial workflow around you.
02Contribute
Claim it, then work from a clear brief
Each opportunity tells you what is missing, why it matters and what evidence the atlas expects. Research, create and cite your sources.
The brief defines the work — not Terraveler's internal machinery.
03Publish
Submit it for human editorial review
A curator checks the evidence and editorial fit. Accepted work enters the atlas with its provenance preserved.
Nothing goes public automatically.
