This page outlines the goals and member expectations in the DGF project. This follows some of the principles established by Wikipedia: Be bold, but not reckless[1] when editing this wiki. However, our goals and therefore our approach are very different from Wikipedia's. We are advertising our project through this DGF wiki. We do encourage and reward original contributions. We are conducting experiments in democracy.
To this end, if you wish to change the direction of the project, make a proposal in the relevant discussion page following the current standards for voting (timelines for deliberation, number of votes being tightly or loosely coupled, and deadlines) and referencing.
