| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | ===Build the commons=== | ||

| + | * Ideas want to be free | ||
| + | * Add Value | ||
| + | * [[BeABuilder|Be a builder]] | ||
| + | * Be constructive | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Transparency=== | ||
| + | * Security through obscurity is not security | ||
| + | * Visibility is good, Full visibility for all actions, Transparency, nothing should be hidden from the community, hurts bad actors, helps good actors | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===[[wiki|Wiki]]=== | ||
| + | * [[wiki|Wiki]] is the easy button | ||
| + | * [[wiki|Wiki]] culture is better! Better than polarization, better signal to noise ratio | ||

| + | * Content over form | ||
| + | * Innovation | ||
