**Bead document** from Bead: Contacts · [canonical source](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/e47cb39d-e473-45fb-98a7-457b2d19066e/bead-bind-startup.md) · discussion: Talk: Contacts

**Current focus:** a self-sovereign contact collection (vCard + about.md per member; `contacts.json` index). Low-churn reference bead. **Do this first:** read [`contacts.json`](contacts.json) to enumerate members; [`about.md`](about.md) for the collection design. **To add a contact:** create `<member>/contact.vcf` (vCard 4.0) + `<member>/about.md`, add an entry to `contacts.json`, and link the person's own origin if they have one (self-sovereign). Then `/bead-sync`. **Lineage:** hatched from [bead-reshaping `4c17b0ec`](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/4c17b0ec-441c-4285-85d1-f727492cc58a/about.md) (worked example #1 — the contacts reassignment).
