>From the POV of a writer who's written dozens of TOS, Privacy Policies and other contracts including various legal agreement types for websites, businesses and fellow freelancers I can say that writing them is even more time consuming and difficult than reading them is.
As such, I agree that there has to be a better way and I'd be more than happy to collaborate in a first go at a short, sweet and to the point TOS template that website owners can use and modify for their individual needs. I have experience with Wikip style licensing and contracts plus a few attorneys with whom I can collaborate to ensure the proper legalese is covered. I can dedicate a few hours a week to this or to other TOSDR projects (and can start anytime after August 8) if anyone is interested in collaborating? I think its high time we stop waiting for someone else to create the free and open Internet that everyone really can use and get to work on it ourselves, don't you? ~~ JC Torpey On Thursday, July 10, 2014 7:00:11 PM UTC-4, Bernát Kalló wrote: > > Hello! > > I'm so glad to see your movement! > > I have a suggestion (don't know if it has been posted already): Why don't > you start writing guidelines for those who want to write legally correct > but still human-readable ToS?
