=== Types of Users ===

There are two types of users:

* User -  Users can propose new articles or changes to existing articles. Anyone can become a user.
* Moderator - Moderators approve changes from users. Moderators are granted moderator status by other moderators. The intent is to grow this list.

* Johan Granstrom

* Aisling Connolly

=== Housekeeping Rules ===
* Keep a factual and sober tone, the purpose of the wiki is to convey accurate information, not to advertise.
* Refrain from redundancy, such as referring to the Internet Computer in article titles. This is, after all, the Internet Computer Wiki.
* Consistent with Wikipedia, for capitalization use headline style in page and section headings (H1 & H2), and sentence style for sub headings (H3 and below). DFINITY is always stylized in all-caps.
* Avoid the word "we", many people may later edit the article leaving "we" ambiguous.
