===What is OpenNIC?===
OpenNIC is a user controlled Network Information Center offering a democratic, non-national, alternative to the traditional Top-Level Domain registries. In case you were looking for them, traditonal TLDs are currently served by [[http://www.networksolutions.com/ Network Solutions]] with policies set by [[http://www.icann.org ICANN]].
Use of OpenNIC DNS servers, will allow host name resolution in [[LegacyDNS the Legacy U.S. Government DNS]], [[SponsoredTLDs OpenNIC operated namespaces]], and those namespaces with which the [[OpenNIC]] has peering agreements.
===This wiki... ===
...is an access controlled work area for OpenNIC working groups (WGs). In accordance with [[OpenNIC]]'s open access philosophy, working group notes are world-readable. Write access to the various WG areas is however limited only to participants (in order to provide a high signal-to-noise ratio). For more information on how to use this wiki, see: WikiCategory first, and then: CategoryWiki.
===How you can [[http://wiki.opennic.glue/OpenNICprojects help]]...===
The main thing anyone can do to help is to become a member. Sign up at http://www.opennic.glue and join our mailing list! The other great thing you can do to help is to spread the word, even if you don't use our TLDs our DNS network is still the quickest around!
To volunteer assistance with any of these tasks, please enter your name on the relevant project page, then make contact with other team members! These and other 'side projects' are listed at [[http://wiki.opennic.glue/OpenNICprojects OpenNIC Projects]]. Once the above tasks are near completion, more will be posted. **NB** Project areas are currently limited in order to allow timeous forward progress. Should you perchance have ideas for future projects though, please, do get in touch. We are always open to suggestions.
===Need help getting started?===
There are plenty of OpenNIC folks available to help with whatever problem you may be having with an OpenNIC server, setup to resolve OpenNIC TLDs, volunteering to set up a Tier 2 server, etc. Please use one of the following contact methods (listed in order of preference). The OpenNIC administrators monitor all of these, and you'll usually receive a response within hours.
~- Post a message to the [[MailingLists "discuss" mailing list]]
