Encode Wiki is a community-maintained home for practical information about codecs and encoding
tools. It combines durable reference documentation with reproducible guides, experiments, and
benchmark articles.

The initial corpus comes from the AV1 Community Contributors'
[Codec Wiki](https://github.com/av1-community-contributors/codec-wiki). Its pages will be migrated
with source provenance and modification notices under CC BY-SA 4.0. The application and deployment
code written for Encode Wiki is separately licensed under MIT.

The public site is designed to remain useful without accounts, analytics, or an AI service. Clean
machine-readable editions will also make the reviewed corpus easier to use from other tools.
