Internal Docs & Notes

1. Project objectives/outline doc (Alina Banerjee).
2. Links and Docs (compiled by Sanjay Karanth): full archive of every document and link shared in #fpl-esg, plus channel-files/ with the actual files mirrored out of Slack.
3. ideas.md: ambitious/speculative directions raised in #fpl-esg (data provenance tracking, code repetition detection, and others), not yet scoped as project-management issues.

Project Management

1. Climate applications: planning. Assignees: Alina Banerjee, Sanjay Karanth. Identifying concrete milestones and research questions across two prongs: helping other groups doing environmental work in India, and enhancing OCaml climate libraries. No repo or dedicated docs yet.

Other Prospective Collaborators (exploratory)

other-collaborators.md: environment/public-tech collaborators surfaced beyond CoreStack and TESSERA (PDGI, SAFAR India, IIT Bombay Climate Studies, a Frappe-like public-tech platform idea), not yet tied to a project-management issue.

CoreStack

CoRE Stack (Aaditeshwar Seth's project) is the main platform underlying FPL's climate/ESG work. Code lives across two orgs: core-stack-org (upstream) and fplaunchpad (FPL's contributions).

Repo

1. core-stack-org/core-stack-backend (core-stack-org, Aaditeshwar Seth's team, IIT Delhi): Django app that computes layers (LULC, drought, hydrology, etc.), serves the API, and orchestrates GEE/GeoServer.
2. core-stack-org/landscape-explorer (core-stack-org): React + OpenLayers frontend for viewing layers.
3. core-stack-org/Commons-Connect (core-stack-org): Vite/React app for watershed planning, run inside a Flutter WebView.

Official Documentation

1. docs.core-stack.org (core-stack-org).
2. core-stack.org/category/knowledge/nuts-bolts (core-stack.org): best broad-overview entry point.

4. core-stack.org/core-stack-technical-manual-v2 (core-stack.org): technical manual, dated 6 Mar 2025. Companion PDF: CoRE_v2_layers.

2. corestack-old/ (primarily Sanjay Karanth and S Naveen): retired joint FPL/CoreStack planning and coordination content, imported from the now-deleted fplaunchpad/fpl-core-stack repo. Includes the first-meeting notes with Aadi Seth, the May 2026 roadmap (project.md + core-stack-2.0.pptx), and S Naveen's reference/glossary notes.
3. fplaunchpad/corestack-rag (fplaunchpad, Smayan Agarwal): RAG over the CoreStack codebase and docs.

Internal Docs & Notes
