Guiding principles
Content
- Focus
- on concrete and well-defined concepts,
- on tangible information and measurable outcomes, and
- on results and evidence
- collected by experts and respected practitioners, using valid methods
- with 'credibility' attained from widely presentation and peer-review, and replication in a range of contexts
- where the results have useable real world implications.
- Reference and link the original sources of all claims, carefully considering the reliability of these sources.
- Provide the date for the recency of all information, automating or suggesting tools for updating over time.
- Write clearly and unambiguously, using plain language, and referencing and defining any important technical terms.
- All resources and information should be organised, linked and accesible. Avoid 'locked away' content such as unlinked pdfs.
- Follow Wikipedia principles where not otherwise specified; avoid redundant information; link relevant Wikipedia articles and other web-hosted resources where these already meet our standards.
Management
- Encourage collaboration and interaction, reward and recognise contributors
- Collaborate, link and share information with other organisations, projects, and tools
