  "markdown": "Encode Wiki is a community-maintained home for practical information about codecs and encoding\ntools. It combines durable reference documentation with reproducible guides, experiments, and\nbenchmark articles.\n\nThe initial corpus comes from the AV1 Community Contributors'\n[Codec Wiki](https://github.com/av1-community-contributors/codec-wiki). Its pages will be migrated\nwith source provenance and modification notices under CC BY-SA 4.0. The application and deployment\ncode written for Encode Wiki is separately licensed under MIT.\n\nThe public site is designed to remain useful without accounts, analytics, or an AI service. Clean\nmachine-readable editions will also make the reviewed corpus easier to use from other tools.\n"
