README

Anokii (working name — Anishinaabemowin verb stem meaning "she/he works"; pending language-keeper verification before public use) is the first opinionated distribution built on the Waaseyaa framework.

Anokii is a sovereign workspace platform for First Nations — OCAP-by-architecture, offline-first, AODA Level AA, and designed from the ground up for Indigenous-language data sovereignty.

What Anokii is

Anokii delivers a productivity surface cluster for First Nations governance:

• Governed Drive — Nation-scoped file storage with OCAP classification
• Form Builder — Governed community data capture with offline queue
• Tasks — Governance-aware task tracking
• Data Rooms — Sensitive-data workspaces with per-record access control
• Governed Docs — Collaborative document authoring with conflict resolution
• Governed Sheets — Tabular data with classification-aware field access
• Co-Intelligence Workspaces — Per-record AI access (OCAP A5 flagship)
• Admin Centre — Distribution administration and Nation tenant management

Every surface is:

• AODA Level AA — accessibility is a design constraint, not an optional feature
• Offline-first — functions in offline-degraded mode via Dexie + Workbox + FSM sync
• OCAP-by-architecture — access control flows from the Waaseyaa framework's AccessChecker / FieldAccessPolicyInterface wiring; no surface bypasses it

Framework vs distribution

Anokii is a distribution — it consumes Waaseyaa via Packagist and adds:

• Opinionated entity types and classification taxonomies for First Nations governance
• Deployer recipes and Nation tenant configuration conventions
• Product-surface UI bundles (Nuxt 3 + Vue 3) with the deep-teal brand baseline
• Indigenous-language translation pipeline (English ↔ Anishinaabemowin, piloting with Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation then Sheguiandah)

Waaseyaa is the substrate — entity system, storage, access control, API, AI pipeline, SSR, MCP endpoint. Anokii never modifies Waaseyaa from inside this repo. Generally useful improvements are upstreamed as framework-targeted missions filed against the Waaseyaa repo.

Framework charter: waaseyaa/.kittify/charter/charter.md

Anokii charter: .kittify/charter/charter.md in this repo (added in Wave 1 scaffold).

How we got here

This repo was scaffolded by mission anokii-distribution-scaffold-01KSEFT7 (Wave 1, parallel to M-A5 in the Waaseyaa framework roadmap). The mission spec lives at kitty-specs/anokii-distribution-scaffold-01KSEFT7/spec.md in the Waaseyaa repo.

Wave 1 scope: repo scaffold + composer.json + Anokii charter + deployer recipe baseline + ten artifact draft specs (8 v0.1 surfaces + 2 cross-cutting).

Status

Alpha — repo scaffold only. No product code has landed yet. The v0.1 surface missions are being filed against this repo. Watch this space.

Brand palette: Deep Teal (#0d4f4f → #0f766e → #14b8a6) — differentiated from Drupal blue, Laravel red, Django/Nuxt green, Strapi purple. Visible once the admin overlay lands.

Install

Not yet published to Packagist. The following command will work once the first release tag is cut.

composer create-project waaseyaa/anokii my-anokii-site

In the meantime, clone this repo directly and run composer install.

License

GPL-2.0-or-later. See LICENSE.txt.

Anokii is GPL-2.0-or-later because Waaseyaa is GPL-2.0-or-later (framework DIR-008). Relicensing requires both a framework-charter amendment and an Anokii-charter amendment (Anokii DIR-A004).

Working name

"Anokii" is an Anishinaabemowin verb stem meaning approximately "she/he works" or "she/he is working." This working name is pending verification and approval by a language keeper before it is used publicly. The Anishinaabemowin language is spoken by the Anishinaabe peoples, including the Ojibwe Nations of the Great Lakes region.

Pilot Nations: Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation (Russell's home Nation; OIATC already on Waaseyaa) and Sheguiandah First Nation. Final Nation selection for the language pipeline pilot is deferred to the language-keeper engagement moment.

How to contribute

Issues and contributions will open once the v0.1 surfaces begin landing. In the meantime:

• Framework contributions: waaseyaa/framework
• Anokii surface missions: tracked via Spec Kitty in this repo (.kittify/)
• Nation partnerships and language-keeper engagement: contact Russell Jones via the OIATC stewards channel
