Give rules a permanent home
Keep shared guidelines and proposals in the community instead of sending members across old files and conversations.
Features
Keep community rules visible and workable
Rules work better when people can find them, understand why they exist, and see how a group arrived at them. RuleTogether gives communities a shared space for rules, proposals, discussion, and amendments.
The challenge
Important rules are often scattered, outdated, or hard to explain
Many groups keep their guidelines in a PDF, a long email, or the memory of a few longtime members. When something changes, it can be hard to know which version applies or how members can raise a concern.
RuleTogether keeps the record closer to the people using it. A community can discuss a proposed change and make the agreed standard easier to revisit.
How RuleTogether helps
Practical tools for the work your group is doing
Discuss changes with context
Let members review a proposed rule or amendment alongside the explanation for it.
Record what the group agreed
Use the community record to make the current direction easier to understand after a discussion or vote.
