How to Get Involved

The Empowerment Economy stays alive because people keep refining, challenging, and extending it. You do not need to be a programmer to participate.

Contribute in three steps

1. Open a Markdown file in content/. Each piece begins with a short front-matter block that sets the title, category, order, and description.
2. Write or revise the text. Plain Markdown is enough—headings, lists, bold, italics, and links all work. Focus on clarity and actionable ideas.
3. Submit your changes. Open a pull request (or use GitHub’s web editor) and the automated build will regenerate the public site for you.

Optional local preview

If you want to see the rendered HTML before submitting, run python scripts/build.py and open docs/index.html. The directory is ignored by git, so you never have to commit generated files.

What to add

• New manifesto chapters or critiques that sharpen existing ones.
• Policy frameworks describing funding models, governance, or community infrastructure.
• Philosophical touchstones, comparative analyses, or historical parallels.
• Questions and prompts that invite collective research.

Where to discuss

Open GitHub Issues for substantial proposals, requests for feedback, or research threads. Draft pull requests are welcome if you want early review.

Keep it accessible

• Use short paragraphs and descriptive headings.
• Cite sources inline and add links where context helps.
• Assume readers may come from outside the tech sector.
