The project is presently in its initial phase. Its success will be determined by the contributions of many parties. To approach the goal several layers of contributions are helpful:
Content policy: Species-ID publishes materials under an open content policy that is compatible with other open content projects like Wikipedia or Open educational resources (OER) . Unlike Wikipedia, which is dedicated to summarizing information previously published elsewhere, original and authored information may be published on Species-ID. The submission of identification datasets (e. g. in DELTA, Xper, SDD, or other formats) is especially encouraged to improve the present and future re-use of these.
Neutrality: While general pages are dedicated to neutrality, authored pages (having the authors' names in the title) may support their respective views in polite discourse. Respecting each others opinion is an essential part of participating here. See also the Charter .
