Something I wrote in 2012 for FLOSS Manuals and updated recently to:
https://github.com/greyscalepress/manifestos
We value:
- Contributors and facilitators over ‘editors’ and ‘authors’
- Collaboration over individualised production
- Here and now production over sometime soon production
- Meaningful credit for all contributors over single author attribution
