All of this is a labor of love and a work in progress, but certain shared values undergird our work and set the terms of our engagement with the broader public. We strive to be: -\- **Educational**. Our primary motivation is always to teach people what they want to learn, collecting, promoting, and disseminating the best information we can find along the way. We believe that a well-educated populous and a better-educated labor pool for the sector are both public goods that maximize the chances of interoperable, vendor-neutral identity becoming and remaining a reality. +\- **Educational**. Our primary motivation is to make it easier to navigate the information around creating decentralized identity systems. To create a decentralized identity layer for the internet is a monumental task. Understanding the history of this effort, and it's many inter-related parts, is helpful for weighing potential solutions. However, as it stands such information is widely dispersed, and it takes quite a bit of effort and research to gather all of this information into one place. Once the most important themes and elements are laid out, and organized for our consumption, it should be easier to move forward with the best solutions for each use case. -\- **Impartial**. We never play favorites, take sides, offer investment advice, or play into market dynamics whereby identity service vendors and platforms jockey for relative advantage. Our primary and overarching loyalty is to maximizing users' control of their data, whether that control is called “self-sovereign” or “independent” or what have you. +\- **Impartial**. We never play favorites, take sides, offer investment advice, or play into market dynamics whereby identity service vendors and platforms jockey for relative advantage. The best we can do is share the strengths and weaknesses of each implementation, and when concerns are raised make that information available, as well. We and\or our contributors are likely to have our own prejudices. However, we aim to leave them at the door, and when necessary present them in a calm and non-adversarial fashion. The important thing is for the Internet to have a Decentralized Identity Layer. Not for any particular application or organization to win. -\- **Inclusive**. Building any (and building ginfrastructure in particular) is always a community endeavor, and community bonds are the only effective countermeasure against profit motives and ulterior motives. Everyone is welcome here until they take actions demonstrably intending to make others unwelcome, and all opinions are welcome as long as their expression does not impinge the participation of others (“your right to swing your fist around ends at my nose”). If you feel unwelcome in a way you can’t discuss directly with the participants involved, please contact our Ombudsman’s Office. We reserve the right to ban noncontributing or abusive members and remove their contributions. -\- **Entirely unmotivated by profit.** No one affiliated with our core community of facilitators, archivists and pedagogues will ever ask you for money for anything that happens on this site or for any work related to it. We accept direct donations and corporate sponsorships to cover our expenses, and individuals may do paid consulting, writing, or freelance work independent of the organization, but only where we can be confident that these activities and engagements will have no bearing on our impartiality, our writing, and our teaching. +\- **Inclusive**.
