structure: CommunityRule is a project of the Media Enterprise Design Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, in collaboration with the Metagovernance Project (metagov.org).

-mission: 'Too many of our communities, especially online, adopt default governance practices based on top-down "implicit feudalism," relying on admins or moderators, lacking even basic features of small-scale democracy. The purpose of CommunityRule is to help communities establish democratic norms for decision-making, stewardship, and culture. This is a very preliminary prototype. Its eventual purpose is to do for governance what the Contributor Covenant has done for shared norms: enable simple, drag-and-drop adoption of common-sense community tools. Since communities have diverse governance needs, however, a one-size-fits-all approach will not suffice. The goal is for communities to easily and intuitively design governance systems appropriate to their contexts.'
