What belongs here

Projects are the work layer of the network.

A project listing should tell a person where the help goes, what kind of effort is needed, and what record or next step follows. It is not a vague volunteer post. It is a practical path into food, repair, reuse, education, local service, or nonprofit capacity work.

Start with the closest useful work.

Shared World keeps public locations coarse until a volunteer is accepted. City-level discovery is enough to choose a project without exposing private addresses or host boundaries.
