A new site, and a resource directory to go with it

The community site has been rebuilt from scratch. Most of what changed is plumbing you should never notice. It is faster, it sets no cookies, and it no longer runs any third-party tracking. Three changes are worth pointing out.

The resource directory

Until now, “Resources” in the menu sent you to a board hosted somewhere else. That worked as a stopgap, but it meant the most useful thing we had was not ours, and we had no way to annotate it.

The directory now lives here. Every entry says what the source holds, what it costs, whether you need an account, and what it will not tell you. That last one usually saves the most time. Isle of Man companies do not file public accounts, and Jersey’s registry will let you search on previous names. A bare link tells you neither.

We have started with the records specific to the Crown Dependencies, because those are the ones no general OSINT resource list covers in any detail. If you work with these registers daily, you know things that are not written down anywhere. Send them over and they go in with your name on them.

The Code of Conduct, and a signatory list

The Code of Conduct has always been good. It was also sitting on a URL that read /elementor-page-3401/, which is a poor address for the most citable document the community has.

It now has a permanent address, a version number and a new public signatory list. Signing is free and open to individuals and organisations. If your firm holds itself to these principles, say so publicly.

Events that do not disappear

Previously an event vanished from the site the moment it passed. Now each one keeps its own page, and we can add the write-up, the speakers and the material afterwards. Past sessions are the clearest evidence the community is doing something. Older events will be backfilled as we dig the details out.
