# Community

Community documents how people participate in the AeThex ecosystem: contributors, users, creators, developers, moderators, and partner groups.

  <h2>Community model</h2>
  <p>Community is the human layer around the technical platform.</p>
</div>

AeThex community spaces should connect back to clear systems: identity through [[Passport]], contribution rules through [[Open-Source]], governance through [[Governance]], and support through the support site and related docs.

## Community spaces

- Public announcements and updates.
- Developer and creator discussion.
- Support and troubleshooting channels.
- Project-specific groups.
- Foundation and governance conversations.

## Operating principles

- Keep public guidance clear and archived where possible.
- Move durable knowledge from chat into docs.
- Use roles and permissions intentionally.
- Separate support escalation from general discussion.
- Keep governance proposals visible and traceable.
