We are exploring here the conceptual territory of the next edge and holding open the space for a range of worldviews and possibilities.  We will do our best to ensure the highest level of diversity and stay clear from any specific ideology or preferred path.

Most if not all of the editors and admins here have experience with solo-blogging. To test the next edge they experiment with simple principles.

  • Anyone may write a draft, anyone else not involved in this draft may release it for publication. Why: to maintain impartiality through peer-review.
  • Co-authors respect prior art, even if it is just released for a minute. If they edit at all, it is to improve on the message, not change its meaning.
  • The tribe of editors and admins trust each other enough to co-create without having a safety net like the edit history on a wiki. They  know from the start upsets may mean the end of this experiment, and are willing to learn on the go.
  • In case more than one in the tribe feels the need to remove posted prior art, they aim to get a 2/3 vote, because removing would affect the right to free expression of a member.

These are the principles. The people here do not wish for rules but may make some, if enough feel the need. Trusting in WordPress.
