-<em>"For everyone to have the opportunity to be involved in a given group and to participate in its activities the structure must be explicit, not implicit. The rules of decision-making must be open and available to everyone, and this can happen only if they are formalized."</em> (Jo Freeman, "The Tyranny of Structurelessness")

The purpose of CommunityRule is to help communities establish appropriate norms for decision-making, stewardship, and culture.
