BluWiki:What BluWiki Is

From BluWiki

This page should grow into a clear statement of:

• BluWiki Goals
• BluWiki Principles
• BluWiki Rules

Current Structure

Right now, we're very new, so we have little structure. But we need to build this now, and not wait until it's too late.

At present, the hierarchy of power at BluWiki consists essentially of User:Sam Odio. Sam pays for BluWiki from his own pocket and holds all authority. He has indicated a wish to broaden this singular structure.

Quotations from Chairman Sam

I set up the web site to let people say whatever they want to say. I especially don't feel it is the job of BluWiki to place a value judgment associated to the content posted here. If it is feasible (legally, practically, and financially) to host any content, I feel it should be hosted. As of right now, taken to the extreme this even means I’m fine with people making pages with the sole purpose of self-promoting / linking to their website. Of course, this is different from defacing / placing links / etc on other people’s bluwiki pages – which I don’t feel is acceptable.

Right now the company that I have founded (OdioWorks, LLC) is completely supporting BluWiki financially. If you would like to provide financial support – you can paypal it to payments@odioworks.com however it is really not necessary....

...I am working to develop a hack where creators of new pages can set page permissions - which will control who can view / edit a page. I feel this is important to allow free expression yet prevent anarchy.

This comment in response to an issue of potentially objectionable content, and how to manage it in future:

I don't have an answer to this potential problem. I can only hope we have an answer before it becomes something we can not control.

...You're right when you said I do not know where bluwiki will go. Hopefully you can help give this site some of the direction that I have not.

At present, these are the authoritative statements of BluWiki's goals and principles. But This is a wiki -- we can improve them.
