who made that?

folklore

we only know the stories we tell

we don’t know who makes the internet

giving credit matters

we have a lot of problems

• we don’t see ourselves • people don’t get credit • contributions get erased • we can’t get access • we don’t value everyone

no more myths

make a placepeople can trust

it is possible to make safe places on the internet

discourage drive-by contributors

persistent identity

neither real names nor anonymity

add accountability around content

make editing actions visible in context

show your actions to your peers

trust people to have control

you are the authority about you

all of your actions are viewable in your profile

moderate and guide the community

actively monitor the site every day

make it easy to flag anything, anywhere

make a placepeople can trust

giving credit matters
