==TransparencyGuidelines / Ideas / Concepts we like here ==* As much communication and information is and will be available on the internet.* Most decisions are made and discussed in wikipages or the mailing list, both are accessible by everyone.
''Rule #1: we try to avoid setting up rules'' ===Spirit of cooperation===* Most action ''just happens'' - someone has an idea, goes ahead and does it.* In case there's doubt if all hitchhikers would be happy with an action: we want a do-ocratic work environment, where we first try to decide by consensus.* We encourage active member participation and try to keep convivial work environments** Try to stay friendly, e.g. not "your stuff sucks so I deleted it", but "maybe you could try to do it like this or that the next time?". ===Transparency===* As much communication and information as possible is and will be available on the internet. This excludes information such as server passwords, but it goes as far as what [[Special:Version|software and extensions]] are running on Hitchwiki, and naturally a [[Special:Recentchanges|history of all edits ever made]].* Many decisions are made and discussed in wikipages or the mailing list, both are accessible by everyone. It has happened many times though that [[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] and/or [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] decided something on their own, but these decisions have thus far never caused any unhappiness with anyone. ===Free software===* We exclusively use [http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software free software]. The entire server stack, MediaWiki, any mailing list software, everything is and should be free. Skype for personal communication about the project is everyone's own choice but is discouraged - use IRC or Jabber instead. Though we primarily discuss hitchhiking (and not technological or philosophical issues). ===Open data===
* We want to keep [[project:database dumps|database dumps]] available at all times.

==Free license=Not for profit===* Hitchwiki costs us almost nothing, so we don't need money to run it and it's unlikely we would need money in the future.* We don't want advertising or affiliate marketing.
