Why this site exists.
The original skgproject.com was a WordPress site published alongside the final report in 2011. It hosted video interviews, forum presentations, design prototypes, a hyperlinked glossary, an annotated bibliography, and the full set of project outputs. It was intended, in the words of the project's external evaluator, as an "on-going, updateable resource."
Some time around 2021, the site went offline. The WordPress install stopped being maintained; the domain's content stopped being served. The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has snapshots up to April 2020, and those snapshots are now the primary record.
This site is a preservation layer on top of that record. It exists so that someone searching for the Seven Principles, or for the final report, can find them and download them without having to know about the Wayback Machine. It is deliberately static — a small pile of HTML and PDFs — so that it will continue to work decades from now without anyone needing to maintain a CMS.
What's here
- The Seven Principles, in full, as HTML and as a two-page PDF pamphlet.
- The Six Steps practical guide, as a dedicated page.
- The Final Report (2011, 45 pp) as a downloadable PDF.
- The four prototype models, with context.
- The project team and funding credits.
What's not here (yet)
- Most of the video interviews. Some are in the Wayback snapshots; a few (project intro, Learning Room walkthrough, Coral scenario) are now included on this site.
- Kneeler Design's animated prototype collages (Flash / SWF-era content).
- Photo galleries from the 2009 international study trip.
- The hyperlinked glossary and annotated bibliography as originally implemented.
If you have copies of any of these and would be willing to share them for the archive, please get in touch via the contact details in the final report.
How it's built
This site is a small Astro project: static pages, content as Markdown/MDX, PDFs as plain files in /public/downloads. No database, no backend, no tracking. The source is intended to be portable — a zip file you can host on any static-file service.
If you find something inaccurate or something worth adding, the fix is small and the site is ready to receive it.
