+ | ===2. Open Foresight Hub seeks to collectively discern and decolonize visions of a better tomorrow.=== | ||
+ | Open Foresight Hub seeks to continually improve as a project, a community, and in understanding our futures and the forces shaping them. The future is not stagnant; it is not a single moment in time. We must collectively and continuously zoom in and out, looking at our perspectives and discerning futures from all angles. Open Foresight Hub plays a role in weaving together these perspectives and iterating our way towards clearer visions of better tomorrows. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | ===4. Open Foresight Hub fosters a civil and collaborative environment.=== | ||
+ | Collaboration lies at the heart of productive dialogue, where we actively listen and exchange ideas to collectively shape valuable information. To ensure successful collaboration, | ||

+ | ===5. Open Foresight Hub is free for anyone to use, edit, and distribute under a CC BY-SA license.=== | ||
+ | In line with our project goals, we encourage open licensing practices that promote accessibility and collaboration. We value the diverse knowledge sources that contribute to Open Foresight Hub and strive to give proper attribution to all creators and contributors. You are free to use, copy, distribute, and modify the text of Open Foresight Hub articles, as long as you attribute the authors and share your modifications under the same CC BY-SA license. | ||
+ | All editors freely license their work to the public, and no editor owns an article – any contributions can and may be mercilessly edited and redistributed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Violation of copyright poses a serious risk to the integrity and continuity of our project. Engaging in activities that infringe upon copyright undermines the principles of openness, collaboration, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===6. Open Foresight Hub has no firm rules.=== | ||
+ | Open Foresight Hub fosters a community of shared power and stewardship over the continual modification and improvement of the project. There are policies and guidelines, but they are not carved in stone; their content and interpretation can evolve over time. The principles and spirit matter more than literal wording, and sometimes improving Open Foresight Hub requires making exceptions. We encourage everyone to be bold, but not reckless, in updating articles. Wikis like ours develop faster when everybody helps to fix problems, correct grammar, add facts, make sure wording is accurate, etc. Do not agonize over making mistakes: they can be corrected easily because (almost) every past version of each article is saved. | ||

+ | ===Attributions=== | ||
+ | Our principles are derived from and further develop upon the knowledge shared by the Wikipedia and Wikimedia Foundation. We acknowledge the valuable contributions made by these organizations in promoting free access to information and fostering collaborative communities. By attributing our principles to their foundational work, we seek to honor their efforts. However, it is important to note that while we draw inspiration from Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation, we are a separate entity. | ||
