Addresses #199 (identify and update out-of-date documentation on scrollprize.org).

Changes

  • FAQ: replaced "reading 5% of one scroll" with a mention of the full read of PHerc. 1667 (Scroll 4, June 2026), and replaced the "What dates do I need to know?" section (which pointed to a 2024 prize deadline that closed 18 months ago) with the current prize structure (First Letters/Title have no fixed deadline, Progress Prizes are monthly).
  • Get Started: fixed "7 x $60,000" for the ink detection prizes — there are 2 ($60,000 each: First Letters, First Title).
  • Prizes: the hardcoded Progress Prize monthly deadline ("June 30th, 2026") had already passed; updated to the next month-end.
  • Community Projects: fixed a handful of broken links, verified individually before changing anything:
    • Two links to lcparker's repos were missing the github.com host (confirmed via the GitHub API that Mask3D and synthetic-pages exist under that account).
    • Several dl.ash2txt.org/community-uploads/bruniss/... links pointed to folders that no longer exist; the uploads have been reorganized into a consistent per-scroll layout (bruniss/scrolls/<scroll>/...). Each replacement was checked against the live directory listing before being used (e.g. the Scroll 5 autosegmentation link now points to scrolls/s5/autogens/s5_initial_trace/, which still contains the same README.txt referenced in the original text).
    • seg-volumetric-labels/... was replaced with volumetric-instance-labels/..., confirmed via that folder's own README.txt, which describes it as the direct successor (including the harmonized instance-label set flagged as the "recommended starting point").

Known remaining issue (not fixed here)

  • volumes_denoised_ce/ under the PHercParis4 volpkg no longer exists and I could not find an obvious successor path in the current directory listing. Left as-is rather than guessing; flagging here for a maintainer who might know where this moved.
  • A few other dead links were found but intentionally left untouched because fixing them would require guessing at intent rather than following clear evidence: github.com/lcparker/pretraining-advantage, github.com/lukeboi/scroll-first-letters, and github.com/lukeboi/scroll-viewer (repos no longer exist under those accounts/names).

No code changes, no build/test impact — Markdown/MDX content only.

- FAQ: reflect the full read of PHerc. 1667 (Scroll 4, June 2026) and
  replace the closed-out 2024 prize deadline with the current,
  no-fixed-deadline First Letters/Title prizes and monthly Progress Prizes
- get_started: fix incorrect "7 x $60,000" ink detection prize count
  (there are 2: First Letters and First Title)
- prizes: update the hardcoded Progress Prize monthly deadline, which had
  already passed
- community_projects: fix two broken links missing the github.com host,
  and update several dl.ash2txt.org community-upload links that pointed
  to reorganized/renamed folders, verified against the current directory
  listings (e.g. seg-volumetric-labels -> volumetric-instance-labels,
  bruniss/p2_submission -> bruniss/scrolls/<scroll>/...)

Addresses ScrollPrize#199. One link (volumes_denoised_ce) is still broken with no
identifiable successor path and is left as-is for a maintainer to triage.
