Welcome to The Pirate Party New Zealand!
Please feel free to contribute to the Wiki, or you may want to leave comments on the message boards. Please feel free to join the IRC Channel.
Mediawiki is a place where we can collaboratively work on documents and upload artwork (for example, proposed promotional material). You need to make a phpbb login and then add yourself to the Wiki group in the phpbb user control panel to edit the wiki, the same login and password should then work on the wiki. If it doesn't, please let Edison Carter know and we'll figure out what broke.
You can discuss proposed changes to a page by clicking the Discussion tab. If you make a change and not everyone agrees with it, this is where you put forward your reasons for wanting the change, others can comment and hopefully we can reach a consensus.
For general discussion it's probably more appropriate to use the forum.

Core_Policy and the FAQ are looking pretty good now.
Constitution needs a few tweaks to be appropriate for the New Zealand electoral system, and a read-over by a lawyer (Edison Carter knows a lawyer that may help us)
Principles Still needs some work too. Bogus assertions about the history and purpose of copyright, and the whole privacy/rights section doesn't seem well written, hysterical almost. The section on Patent's isn't too bad though. Perhaps we can rewrite the entire thing to be an expanded version of (or at least more consistent with) Core policy, eg perhaps present the issues in the same order and expand on the assertions made in Core policy?
