→Guidelines / Ideas / Concepts we like here: small 2021 updates
==Guidelines / Ideas / Concepts we like here ==
''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 democratic 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===
===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.
<!-- * We want to support open formats and standards, such as OpenID and microformats.these are quite dead in 2021 -->
===Free license===
* 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. We would only accept it in case money would be needed and other forms of fund-raising are not succeeding.
* Hitchwiki is officially part of the German [http://abgefahren[Abgefahren e.de/ AbgefahrenV.]] not-for-profit organization with the goal of promoting hitchhiking. One of the things to keep in mind is the use of brand-names, try to avoid them, so if you find you have to, use McD to refer to '''that''' hamburger chain, but don't give them free publicity by using their full name!
