When you have nothing to hide, it's easy to be transparent.
Why the Invisible Man Has Nothing on AboutUs
It is our hope that by publicizing our actions and our projects we will engage you, our community. If you would like to help build the commons, please see how you can help.
Why is this important?
Transparency builds trust. If you are using a false name, not your own, people may wonder why. It may not be desirable to reveal everything about yourself but a name is something to build upon. Communities can only really begin to develop if the members of that community know each other.
How do I do this?
Your user page is a good place to start.
- Give your real name
- Include a photo of yourself
- Add some information about yourself such as your interest.
For more information on transparency start here:
