Abstract
This document provides an overview of the Palimpsest structured
collaboration system. Palimpsest facilitates review of documents
through reactions tagged with weak semantics defining processing
steps for the reaction. Documents are grouped into projects with a
common set of allowed semantic moves and processing steps. This

Internet-Draft Palimpsest November 2024
1. Introduction
Palimpsest is a collaborative editing tool designed to support a
structured process. Documents uploaded to a Palimpsest server can be
read and annotated by authorized users. Annotations are tagged with
a constrained set of semantics which determine the process through
which the reaction is closed.
Palimpsest forums may be hosted as a trusted or a zero-trust service.
The zero-trust host configuration affords true end-to-end security
with all content being encrypted on the service but requires the use
of a Palimpsest client. In the trusted service configuration, the
content is stored on the service in plaintext and users may interact
through either the custom client or a standard Web browser.
The current scope of Palimpsest is collaborative editing of Internet
Drafts but the tool set is intended for collaborative editing of any
document. Documents may be uploaded in XML2RFC format and downloaded
with the current annotation set in Markdown, Word or XML format.
Once a document draft is finished, it can be submitted as an Internet
draft.
