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.

Already wrote about privacy, organizing or self-sufficiency somewhere else? You can republish it here under your name. See Republishing your own writing.

How it works

  1. Pick a task below and put your name after it, so nobody doubles up.
  2. Write it here on the wiki, or leave a link to your draft on this page's talk page.
  3. A named person replies within a day, with thanks and one comment on what you wrote.

Good first tasks

About 15 minutes each.

  • 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 the example Circle page. Open.
  • 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.
  • 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. Open to anyone, any number of times.
  • 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.

Bigger pieces

An hour or an evening.

  • 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.
  • 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 criteria for listing a tool and follow the layout of any page in Tools. Open.
  • 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.

Republishing your own writing

  • Your name goes on it, and it links to the original, marked as the original.
  • You keep ownership and can keep publishing it anywhere else.
  • Only your own work, or work you have permission to share.
  • Post it yourself, or leave the link on the talk page and someone will post it for you.
