Remote Collaboration Guidelines

Introduction

In order to promote global collaboration, it is important to lower barriers to collaborators such that anyone who wants to become involved can begin contributing in a meaningful way. For global collaboration to happen, documentation is key. Our central repository of documentation is the OSE Wiki (this wiki). Here are the documentation guidelines for those who want to get involved in the project.

1. Log in. Set up an account on the OSE Wiki. See Wiki Login Policy. Email admin at opensourceecology dot org if you have trouble setting up an account.
2. Create Work Log. See Work Log Guidelines. Begin a page titled Your Name Work Log. We are organizing contributions by connecting pages to their curators. When you set up your work log, you are declaring yourself to be the initial curator or owner of that page.
3. Document Your Work. Link to all your work product as in Work Log Guidelines. Keep in mind that when you join the project, you are not talking only to the respective individual in your communications - but also to the world - to increase the rate of innovation. If it's not on the wiki, it does not exist - for the purposes of global collaboration.
