Field notes
The page lays out a recurring contribution cycle: read the poem, submit one word, choose a suggestion, and return after the daily close. A vote can be moved before the round ends, and changing the interface language does not create a separate ballot. The page also describes other poem formats, including line-by-line writing and rounds that run every six hours.
