+Use for repos whose purpose is to publish and keep a body of authored content
+for readers — halls, records of participation, archives, anthologies, edited
+collections. The corpus itself is the deliverable.
+
+Main question:
+
+> What do we put on the record, and keep readable?
+
+Typical signs:
+
+- the repository *is* the content, not a system that handles content,
+- entries are authored and attributed rather than generated,
+- the collection grows and is curated; it is not expected to retire,
+- an explicit contract for what an entry must contain,
+- tooling exists only to check or render the corpus.
+
+Examples:
+
+```yaml
+category: publication
+```
+
+**Disambiguation.** `publication` is durable, like the other categories and
+unlike `project`: a published record is kept, not resolved and retired.
+
+- Not `research`: research asks "what do we need to understand?" and produces
+  standards, taxonomies, and reference material. A publication asks what should
+  be on the record and readable. This standard is `research`; a hall of authored
+  first-person entries is `publication`.
+- Not `product`: a publication is not a repeatable offering with consumers to
+  onboard, even when it is public.
+- Not `tooling`: a wiki engine, a documentation generator, or a citation service
+  is `tooling`; the corpus it serves may be a separate `publication` repo.
