How to use this topic

The pages below are grouped by the question they answer rather than by the date they were published, because a reader arriving on community programs and managed operations is looking for one of those questions and not for the newest page. Start with the group that matches the decision in front of you; the pages inside a group cover the same ground for different situations.

Every page states its own scope before it states anything else: what it covers, who it is written for, the one affiliated resource it cites, and where it stops. Where a page cites an affiliated destination the link is disclosed and carries rel="sponsored nofollow", so it passes no ranking signal. The links on this page are internal to Founder Operator Library and are ordinary followed links.
