Although anyone with internet access can write or edit the pages/articles, to prevent disruption, susceptibility to unchecked information and vandalism associated with allowing everyone to edit, Dharmawiki pages are restricted from editing to all anonymous users. Such users can always present their point of view by requesting an account and submitting their profile here. Once assessed for their interests their login credentials are created by the core team. Detailed process to register is outlined in the [[Guest Author]] page. One can access the ever-growing [[Dharmawiki Objectives|list of objectives]] and collaborate if interested in particular aspects there.
