+
+## PURPOSE
+
+This is the parking lot. Ideas discussed but not yet ready for implementation live here until Michael promotes them to a task or planning document — or declines them.
+
+These are NOT tasks. They are NOT plans. They are seeds.

+## ACTIVE IDEAS
+
+### IDEA-001: Wiki Documentation Access Control & Staff Role Permissions
+**Date Logged:** February 12, 2026  
+**Source:** Consolidation audit session  
+**Status:** 💡 Idea  
+**Description:** We need a user-friendly way to present our documentation within the Staff and Subscriber wikis. This includes figuring out how documentation flows from the Git repo into the wikis, what content goes where (public vs subscriber vs staff), and how access is controlled per staff role.  
+**Considerations:**
+- What staff roles exist and what docs does each role need?
+- How do we keep wiki content in sync with Git repo (manual push? automated?)
+- Should docs be reformatted for wiki consumption or served as-is?
+- MkDocs handles public. Wiki.js handles subscriber and staff. But what's the editorial workflow?
+- Needs discussion before the soft launch (March 2026)

+### IDEA-002: Frostwall Protocol — Consolidated Network Defense Document
+**Date Logged:** February 12, 2026  
+**Source:** Consolidation audit / Frostwall naming discussion  
+**Status:** 💡 Idea  
+**Description:** The Frostwall philosophy (hub-and-spoke GRE topology, UFW deployment, DDoS protection strategy) currently exists only in fragments across multiple docs and in Michael's head. Needs its own canonical planning document before Phase 1 DDoS work begins.  
+**Considerations:**
+- Phase 0 GRE tunnels were dismantled — document what was learned
+- Phase 1 options still under consideration (Cloudflare Spectrum vs Simplified GRE vs Hybrid)
+- Design bible currently misuses "Frostwall" for the UI gate — that needs renaming first
+- Should include the security philosophy ("every layer defends the next")
