What this version covers

Version 1 covers the public, read-only BTBW website. The archive has no genuine public contributions yet. The website does not currently offer an active contact form, contribution form, account registration, or public sign-in.

A separate updated notice and approved contribution terms must be in place before BTBW opens authenticated contribution intake.
