Updates

Last editorial update:

The Blue•Print is developing a place for people to write, publish, preserve and control their own stories. This page records progress across the public website, the TSPS publishing system and the wider TFYQA ecosystem.

New books, open research and clearer contributions

A Poet’s Intimate Creative Awakening is now public. Upper “Yewper” Case is a fictional poet whose demonstration collection has travelled through the author workspace, supporting pages, private review and the author’s final publishing decision. Its new Bookshelf card includes an AI-generated promotional illustration.

Our new Research section begins with Data centres: scale, investment and unanswered questions. This preliminary evidence review brings together comparisons across 15 countries, selected projects and downloadable data, with sources, dates, limitations and unresolved questions alongside the findings.

The Publishing Contributions Registry provides public declarations of human contributions and AI assistance, with XML downloads. The accompanying open specification can be used independently of the registry. A published declaration records what the registrant has approved; it is not independent verification of authorship.

Current development

These are development stages, rather than a promise that every capability is available to every author today.

Progress as at 1 November 2026
AreaStageProgress and next steps
Public pages and navigation Continuing improvements Grouped navigation now includes Research. A wider footer has been prepared to make public sections and rights information easier to find.
Bookshelf and reading Public editions available APICA joins the Bookshelf with its own reading subdomain and promotional artwork. Published books provide examples of different reading and listening presentations.
Author enquiries and access Worked examples tested Enquiries have references for follow-up. Author access and the steps from writing to publication have been exercised through demonstration publications; further testing continues.
Private review and publishing Demonstrated with APICA Saved chapters and supporting pages form a submitted review copy. Staff approval permits the author to make the final publishing decision. Review feedback stays private; review notification emails are not yet included.
Publishing Contributions Registry Public pilot available Reviewed registrant declarations can be read publicly and downloaded as XML. The open specification explains the format. Registration does not independently verify the declared contributions.
Research and evidence downloads First review published The data-centre review includes methods, source links and downloadable tables. Evidence, estimates and uncertainties are distinguished, with scope for later corrections and further research.
Publishing packages and AI services Private planning and trials Versioned offerings, service briefs and approval controls are being developed internally. Proposed tiers, prices and service arrangements remain subject to testing and approval.
Evidence and preservation tools Continuing development Evidence Map, source records and preservation planning remain part of the wider development programme. Routine backup arrangements are a further priority.

Recent progress and earlier milestones

— Research and discovery

The first Research publication is available: Data centres: scale, investment and unanswered questions. It is an AI-assisted preliminary evidence review, with downloadable tables and links explaining the contributions declared for the work. Research is now linked from the site navigation.

APICA’s Bookshelf card is also in place, linking readers to the dedicated publication. Its promotional illustration is separate from the collection’s existing text contribution statement.

— APICA reaches publication

A Poet’s Intimate Creative Awakening, by fictional author Upper Case, completed private review and the final author publishing step. Its five chapters and supporting pages provide a working example of the publishing pathway. The collection was developed with AI assistance under John Anthony Brown’s direction, as explained in its published contribution statement.

— Publishing and author enquiries

  • Public information is being revised around authorship, ownership, free public readership and personal control.
  • The author enquiry workflow is being tested with registration references, branded email replies and a searchable staff enquiry desk.
  • A dedicated registrations mailbox is receiving test replies, with initial imports successfully matched to enquiry records.
  • Grouped navigation is being introduced to help visitors find publications, author information and the wider project.
  • A scenario-based testing programme has been prepared to check registration choices, email handling, staff review and the later publishing steps.

— Development planning

Development was affected by an extended hospital stay. Planning included a second version of the Survivors Vault.

— Holiday break

A holiday break in the development programme.

— Storage migration

Migration to a new cloud storage facility was underway.

— TFYQA platform progress

  • The TFYQA.biz base platform reached Stage 1 functionality.
  • The Evidence Map module was entering beta testing.
  • Data loading and stability work continued.

— Initial construction

Phase 1 construction of The Blue•Print was completed, followed by content review and refinement.

What happens next?

We will continue testing the author journey, improve guidance and navigation, and work toward routine backups and clearer administration of service briefs, costs and approvals. Future publishing options and self-paced learning are being considered; their terms are still in development.

The Blue•Print is the public-facing part of the wider TFYQA ecosystem. Publishing, evidence organisation and preservation are being brought together around the person's own record and choices.
