Enrich the climbing community

The only goal is enrichment. Stele projects focus on this by encouraging diversity. Building helpful, creative guides should be within reach of most climbing developers.

Rock climbing changes very little. The rocks we climb on are ancient and the routes we establish become permanent fixtures. Decades from now, climbers will be be doing pretty much the same thing. Stele projects are designed to fit this; using stable technology in a straightforward manner lets climbers of the future benenefit from our work today.

The community benefits from Stele projects should outlast Stele itself.

Continuity

Built and maintained by a climber, on his own time.

So what if Stele stops? Each subproject is self-contained and dependency-free; any subproject can be picked up independently by a future developer who cares about that piece. Hosting is trivial to reproduce. Sites are hosted on NFSN, source at Codeberg.
