How Fabric writes the Library
Every Library entry links to its primary source and states the date it was published. The Our take section is written by Fabric Networks Inc. in Calgary and reviewed against that source before it goes live. We name legislation, standards and agencies by their proper titles, we do not invent deadlines or requirements, and we say plainly when something is our interpretation rather than a stated fact. Corrections are made in place and dated.
