RBE10K Project Participation is open to anyone who has an interest, regardless of an intention to live in the experimental community itself (i.e. be one of the Brave 10,000. This Wiki is the main platform for the engineering of the systems and methodologies that will support the community, and anyone is welcome to participate in one of many ways. The word engineering doesn't mean a contributor has to be an engineer, but simply a contributor of ideas, skills, and general information that can be useful for the project. Any information that is too loosely formatted for the standards of this Wiki would better be added in personal pages; that information can later be picked-up to enrich information properly formatted and organised in main wiki pages. Anyone can create new pages, however it is advisable that in doing so, conventions are followed for readability and homogeneity, so that the Wiki has a stable look, very much like the Wikipedia.
Getting started
Participating in the project begins by registering as a user of the wiki, either through the normal registration form or using a Facebook account by clicking on the link on the top-right of the page. The current contributors to the project are registered in the RBE10K Project Participants page, and anyone is invited to add themselves to the list. In line with the Project's values of openness, honesty and individuality, we request that each contributor create a personal wiki user page with their own understanding of an RBE and the objectives sought after through participation in RBE10K.
Who can participate of the RBE10K?

RBE10K cities would require each newcomer to bring some of the necessary materials and resources to help build the community, for a value of roughly 10,000 units of their currency (€, £, US/NZ/CA $, or roughly equivalent), non-refundable (except on RBE10K experiment failure, in which proceeds from the sale of all materials and resources would be evenly refunded), and as per the requirements specified in the knowledgebase, using a system to establish allotments and administration priorities. Every newcomer would also be required to agree to a simple list of terms and conditions for life in a RBE, including giving up rights to property, trade, blame, personal opinion outside matters of personal preference, etc. Such terms and conditions are essential for becoming one of the brave 10,000. Settlers would also be encouraged to commit to a minimum of two years participation in the community, while engaged primarily in assisting with one or more of the three main objectives of the city.
