Group talk: Freedom Ladder
This list is a work in progress and a result of a collaborative effort between the FSF and the free software community. We encourage you to think with us on what this ladder should include, and what else to highlight by leaving notes on the discussion page, and by joining us in the IRC meetings, or by emailing campaigns@fsf.org with your thoughts.
This page is a shared resource, and we encourage others to add to the discussion pages, but it is possible that some entries here may be added by members of the community. We check this resource periodically, and process the comments we receive. We know that others check it too, but it's a wiki, so errors may be added before they're fixed. We encourage you to review licenses and information about resources you add, and to update this page with your findings.
Getting started
The LibrePlanet wiki is a collaborative site and we want you to contribute. The site gives you progressive access to privileges the more you edit. That means you need to make several changes before you can add upload files or make new pages. If you need further assistance, you can email campaigns@fsf.org.
