Here are some tips on getting started with this wiki:

Add Users

Your Deki Wiki is configured to allow users to create their own accounts from the login screen. However, you can also create accounts for users manually from the User Management in your Control Panel (See the "Tools" dropdown). Users who have accounts created for them will be notified via email; bootstrapping a community has never been easier.

Select a new style

Wik.is offers multiple templates and color schemes for you to choose - find a palette which is more appealing for your community. Changing your styles is as easy as going to the Visual Appearances in your Control Panel.

Explore your settings

Don't be afraid to explore your Control Panel - you'll find easy ways to manage and customize your Deki Wiki.

The goal of Privacy Commons is to create privacy policy frameworks which are complete, informative, enforceable, and easy to adopt. When a privacy policy adopts a Privacy Commons (PC) framework, it means that they have made certain disclosures about how personal information is collected, used, stored, and kept secure.

Privacy Commons will have a set of core disclosure requirements which will be common to all frameworks, as illustrated below (we hope you like flower-looking Venn diagrams). In addition to the core disclosure requirements, individual industries with unique regulations, challenges, and practices will have additional disclosure requirements.  Use Case 1 to demonstrates this idea.  We have identified ten industries with unique privacy requirements for now, and these are listed below.  All disclosure requirements will be split up into Required Representations, Optional Representations, and Prohibited Representations.

  • Personal Activities
Privacy Commons (PC) seeks to do for privacy what Creative Commons (CC) has done for copyright.  One important difference, though, is that while CC works under intellectual property (IP) law, PC must operate under a combination of contract, tort, and IP law, and take advantage of market forces.
