This website is for developing ideas and practical solutions to help bring forward the coming post-scarcity age. We intend there to be a practical side to the project, putting the ideas into action to help progress society in a positive direction, and not just to exist for pure discourse and speculation.

This is not an encylopedia. The idea is to use the flexible nature of a wiki to collaborate and evolve ideas relating to advancing civilization. As such the guidelines for how to contribute differ from other collaborative projects such as Wikipedia.

Guidelines

• There is no 'neutral point of view' policy. There is no problem with people contributing material that expresses their point of view - this is necessary for discussion.
• Use of images, diagrams and animations are encouraged as much as possible in all areas of this website as it is such an intuitive and efficient way to impart information.
• We are looking for people who can contribute positively to the evolution of this project and there is no problem with people submitting criticism on various topics although to be useful it should be constructive.
• The right for people or groups of people to work on alternative variations of articles and concepts is no problem as it is part of the process of evolution, although consider that too much fragmentation and variation may not be beneficial due to dilution of effort and focus.
• The main framework of material ideally should be written in as clear a manner as possible so it is intelligible to anyone who might be reading it.

Something about dissemination of the info too.
