+Handmade Cities publishes memoranda written by [our founder](/about), usually addressed to prominent community members. The public nature of these documents lets you:
+1. Keep tabs on how we govern
+2. Call out faulty reasoning or inconsistencies (but don't *"well actually"* us)
+3. Increase chances for participation e.g. because you saw a new initiative

+Memos are published once a month as PDF documents below.
