The idea here is to collaborate and share knowledge, right out in the open. We can use this space to aggregate resources, conduct research, express opinions, float ideas, and generally learn from one another. This is what the web is for.
Every user is provided with their own userpage, which they may use however they wish. You may wish to post your e-mail address and PGP key to facilitate secure communications.
Add, augment, modify, edit, proof, challenge, and otherwise engage with the materials here, BUT REMEMBER: The Commons is available on the public Internet. This is not a private space, and MUST NOT be used to facilitate illegal activity, whatever the hell that means. Basically, my advice to you is CAUTE. Think before you post, and remember that big brother is probably not watching, but most definitely could be.
