Contribute
Share What You Know
IT Vidya is a knowledge commons. It grows through teachers, researchers, practitioners, elders, students and thoughtful learners who share what they understand — carefully, honestly and generously.
Ways to contribute
Many ways to enrich the commons.
Write a resource
Propose an essay, primer, guide or practice on a question you understand deeply.
Suggest corrections
Point out errors, unclear passages, unfair summaries or missing perspectives in existing content.
Review as an expert
Offer to check resources in your field — science, philosophy, a tradition, education, community practice.
Design a journey
Suggest a sequence of learning steps for a particular audience or theme.
Share facilitation experience
Used our material with a class or circle? Tell us what worked, what did not and what people asked.
Bring other voices
Help us include traditions, regions and perspectives that are not yet represented.
What we look for
Qualities of a good contribution
- Clear, plain language that a curious beginner can follow
- Honest about what is evidence, interpretation, perspective and open question
- Fair to views the author does not share
- Practical: it invites reflection and application, not only information
- Properly attributed, with sources for factual claims
- Original, or shared with the necessary permissions
All contributions are guided by our Knowledge Commons Principles.

Questions contributors ask
Do I need formal qualifications to contribute?
No. Lived experience, practice and careful study are all valued. Factual claims still need reliable sources, and some topics will be reviewed by people with relevant expertise.
Will I be paid?
IT Vidya Version 1 is a non-commercial commons and does not currently offer payment for contributions. If this changes, it will be announced openly.
Who owns what I contribute?
Contributor agreements are still being prepared. Until they exist, we will not publish your work without agreeing terms with you in writing, and you will be credited for it. See the licensing principle for our current position.
Can I use AI tools?
You may, provided you disclose how you used them and personally verify every factual claim. AI output is never accepted as a source.
How long will it take to hear back?
IT Vidya is in its first version and the editorial process is still being set up, so responses may take time. We would rather be honest about that than promise a turnaround we cannot keep.
