Different membership levels
There will be different contributionlevels in the Business Intelligence Compendium initiative, namely:
Readers
The reader community will probably consist of all people who have interest in business intelligence, be it academic, commercial or even just occasional interest. The compendium will aim to be a complete and comprehensive source of information with additional pointers to business intelligence experts that can provide "custom" (non encyclopedical) information if required. currently all pages of the compendium are open for readers. This might change to registered if our professional contributors board finds we need to know our reader community better.
Related authorisations
Currently no authorisations are required to be a reader. In Wiki language this means the user is part of the '*' group
Occasional contributors
The occasional contributor can be any one who does a minor update to pages. This means small updates to pages to correct obvious errors, or to add small pieces of information to existing articles.
In order to be an occasional contributor, one must create a user account with confirmed email address to gain editing access to the pages. Furthermore we expect every editor to respect editing guideliness. More details on the [Contribute] page.
