<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This page lists writing the wiki needs. Pick one task. Most take under an hour, and you don't need anyone's permission to start. Every first piece gets a reply from a person within a day.<br />
<br />
Already wrote about privacy, organizing or self-sufficiency somewhere else? You can republish it here under your name. See [[#Republishing your own writing|Republishing your own writing]].<br />
<br />
== How it works ==<br />
# Pick a task below and put your name after it, so nobody doubles up.<br />
# Write it here on the wiki, or leave a link to your draft on [[Talk:Help wanted|this page's talk page]].<br />
# A named person replies within a day, with thanks and one comment on what you wrote.<br />

<br />
== Good first tasks ==<br />
About 15 minutes each.<br />
* '''Fill in your Circle's page''' (Circles, about 10 minutes, for Stewards). Nobody else can say who your Circle is, what it stands for and how to join. Done looks like: the Introduction, Declaration and Join sections, a few sentences each. Start from your Circle's page under [[Circles]], or see [[Parallel Wiki/Example Circle page|the example Circle page]]. ''Open.''<br />
* '''Add a term to the [[Glossary]]''' (Ideas, about 15 minutes). Done looks like: one term, two or three plain sentences, and one link to a page that goes deeper. ''Open.''<br />
* '''Republish something you already wrote''' (Takes or Library, about 15 minutes). Done looks like: your piece, your name, and a link to the original marked as the original. See [[#Republishing your own writing|Republishing your own writing]]. ''Open to anyone, any number of times.''<br />
* '''Translate your Circle's Introduction''' (Circles, about 15 minutes, for Stewards). Done looks like: your Introduction in your own language, with one line in English. ''Open.''<br />
<br />
== Bigger pieces ==<br />
An hour or an evening.<br />
* '''Write the first myth on [[Takes/Myths]]''' (Takes, about an hour). The page has the format and no myths yet. Done looks like: one common claim about privacy, decentralisation or parallel institutions, answered in plain words, signed, with sources. ''Open.''<br />
* '''Write a page for a privacy app you use''' (Tools, about an hour). Done looks like: what it does, how to install it, what it protects and what it doesn't. Check it meets the [[Tools#Criteria for listing a tool|criteria for listing a tool]] and follow the layout of any page in [[Tools]]. ''Open.''<br />
* '''Add a project you're part of''' (Projects, about 30 minutes). Done looks like: what it is, how to join, and a status line: active, getting started or needs restarting. Follow any page in [[Projects]]. ''Open.''<br />
<br />
== Republishing your own writing ==<br />
* Your name goes on it, and it links to the original, marked as the original.<br />
* You keep ownership and can keep publishing it anywhere else.<br />
* Only your own work, or work you have permission to share.<br />
* Post it yourself, or leave the link on [[Talk:Help wanted|the talk page]] and someone will post it for you.<br />
<br />
== Recently finished ==<br />
When a task is done, move it here with the writer's name.<br />
* Nothing yet.<br />
<br />
== Add a task ==<br />
