Kuinka osallistua wikiin
DanceResource on dynaaminen, avoimen lähdekoodin alusta, jota sen yhteisö pyörittää. Olitpa sitten tanssija, fasilitaattori, tutkija tai vain utelias, panoksesi auttavat meitä laajentamaan, säilyttämään ja jakamaan tietoisen tanssin kollektiivista tietämystä. Yhdessä voimme edistää elinvoimaista, tieteellisesti perusteltua ja osallistavaa resurssia.
Tämä opas selittää, kuinka voit aktiivisesti osallistua wikin rakentamiseen ja parantamiseen.
Aloittaminen
Ennen osallistumista tutustuthan missioomme, arvoihimme ja visioomme:
Kannustamme selkeitä, osallistavia, hyvin tutkittuja ja monimuotoisia liikeperinteitä ja -identiteettejä kunnioittavia kirjoituksia. Aitous, tieteellinen integriteetti, saavutettavuus ja syvä kunnioitus henkilökohtaisia kokemuksia kohtaan muodostavat kaikkien kirjoitusten perustan.
