At AboutUs, we believe a bunch of people working on building something together is itself a profound result. We hope to create a space where such building happens. As such, BeABuilder is a philosophy of striving to build something of lasting value to the AboutUs community and the world at large. This is much more than just building wiki pages that are aesthetically pleasing or highly informative and useful (although all these are valuable qualities), but building ways in which people and ideas work together to create something bigger than the pieces. This is about synergy and providing space for others to work in. While this means having a targeted goal, the building is as much about the process of building something valuable than the finished product (especially since the product may never be finished).
Philosophie
EtreUnBâtisseur signifie vouloir construire et agir sur ce désir, en nous concentrant pour avoir notre coeur au bon endroit. De beaucoup de façons, c'est un saut de SupposerBonneFoi. Cela démarre par la croyance que tout le monde est venu chez AboutUs pour participer à quelque chose de constructif et informatif. Vous être venu(e) pour construire quelque chose. Vous n'êtes pas venu(e) chez AboutUs pour détruire. Même en remaniant les pages wiki avec vos idées et visions, ce que devient la page est quelque chose possédé par l'ensemble. Vous ne construisez pas votre propre page, vous aider à construire pour tout le monde. De toutes les manières, cette chose que nous bâtissons actuellement est une fondation pour que quelqu'un d'autre puisse construire quelque chose dessus.
EtreUnBâtisseur c'est aussi ne pas simplement venir et mettre de la tenture et puis sortir et clavarder/crier le jeu d'enfant. C'est ESSAYER de créer quelque chose qui a une valeur pérenne.

Other Values
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
BeABuilder is often about not sweating the small stuff. Believing in ChangeIsCheap is an acceptance that you can change the small stuff later. Focus instead on the big picture, knowing that other can and will fine tune or build on top of your ideas.
To achieve this, just click "edit" and "save" a lot. This creates a visual history of your thoughts and changes that others can use to build on top of or just understand the direction you were going in. Clicking "edit" and "save" a lot also allows you to quickly jump into a document and get your hands dirty. Don't worry too much about a plan up front, just start working on it. The idea can be likened to building with Legos, you start somewhere and let the creation take shape, adding and subtracting, constantly re-factoring what you are building.
This links to the ReleaseEarlyReleaseOften philosophy common in the Open Source community:
- People seed a page with an idea that's often vague and poorly worded. It is rough and that's okay, that's expected. It's a beginning.
- Other people come along and re-factor it. There is a freedom from fear that others are going to judge their effort as unworthy, in fact the expectation is that other will judge their efforts and highly valuable.
Create and Demand a Safe Environment for Experiments
Beyond assuming good faith in other's efforts, a value that's important to BeABuilder is that you can expect people to assume good faith about your efforts so you don't have to worry that you've got everything perfect. Their is a tacit implication in BeingABuilder that what has been built before you was designed for you to improve it and that the previous builders feel like it's great if other people come along and improve the things you've built.
Other Types of Building
BeABuilder isn't just about great wiki page creations. BeABuilder is also about building a strong community. Building a foundation level, and creating networks. Building more than just domain page, portal page, or personal page. Just as there are different types of people in the world, there are different types of builders. Some people may not be good writers themselves, but are great at encouraging others in building the pages. Part of being a builder is collaboration (communication). Anything on the wiki that is collaborative in nature is part of building the community. Whether it is a group of people collaborating on creating a great wiki page, a portal, someone organizing a consensus poll, fighting spam attacks and other vandalism patrolling changes to AboutUs.
What being a builder is not
- Not just building for yourself and for your own purposes. That doesn't mean that your objectives can't be met while building for the community.
- Be a builder is not gardening (although gardening needs to happen).
- Be a builder is never finished.
- Be a builder is not perfect. Perfect is the enemy of good enough and right now.
