AP One-Place Studies › Future Direction
Help shape AP One-Place Studies
AP One-Place Studies is live, and free on WordPress.org. One-place study has its own conventions, and we would rather learn them from the people doing the work than guess at them. Your input should shape the direction more than our guesses do.
Where we are looking
No fixed roadmap yet — at this stage your input steers it. What moves left depends on what you tell us.

Tell us what we have missed
A one-place study is a particular discipline, with conventions that are obvious from the inside and invisible from the outside. If we have missed one — a record type, a way of handling a household, a practice you take for granted — we would genuinely rather hear it than not.
Every suggestion from someone running a real one-place study is read and weighed.
