This website is for developing ideas and practical solutions to help bring forward the coming [[post-scarcity age]].

It 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 are different to a project such as [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]:

What AdCiv.org is and isn't

AdCiv is not intended as a general wiki on the topic of post-scarcity, nor is it to be an inclusive directory of any/every organisation that claims to be related to post-scarcity in some way - however we are of course be happy to link to those that are particularly relevant.
