| Contributing to the Global Dialog Project The aim of the Global Dialog Project is not to be only an information resource site. Data and information are not enough! They need to be transmuted into *knowledge*, and that takes human input, analysis, and especially, discussion and feedback about what you consider important. Thus it is of primary importance to us that you are able to voice to your thoughts, insights, and other input to this site. While we have not completed all the ways we hope to facilitate your feedback and dialog, there are a number of ways to participate. Many pages on the website (including all Topics pages) have a form at the bottom where you can add your comments. Please see the Precepts section for our values, and Guidelines for posting and discussion. All such posts will be added to the bottom of the 'Participant Comments' section. We will be instituting a recommendation system to move the best of these comments up to the main section and their own page. If however, you have more complete or structured comments you would like added directly to one of the main sections, please email us at webmaster@global-dialog.org - we look forward to hearing from you. For any other topical writing you wish to contribute, including Essays, Commentary, Features or Articles, please email us at yourcontrib@global-dialog.org . We prefer html formatted files, and will happily consider any artwork, graphics or design elements you wish to include. Please let us know which section you would like to place the article in, what links to other sections it should make, and how you can be contacted. We welcome entire other categories of self-expression, including ART, DRAWING and PHOTOGRAPHY. Any submissions for these should go to at art@global-dialog.org. We are also accepting writing in the form of POETRY, STORIES and PROSE. We would prefer that these have clear relevance to the future and our path towards it, or to our past and how we got here and now. Or -whatever you are feeling is relevant! Contact us at yourcontrib@global-dialog.org We are beginning to accept MUSIC in the form of mp3, realaudio, or (possibly) other formats. We are currently just getting going our ability to handle music download and streaming - any volunteered help would be greatly appreciated! Please contact us before sending mp3s etc or to volunteer your assistance to yourcontrib@global-dialog.org To contribute NEWS or request that a newsletter or website be added to the NEWS section, please email us at yournews@global-dialog.org To contribute design, page organization or other website support, please email yourcontrib@global-dialog.org Please contribute QUOTES directly at the bottom of the Quotes page.
