-The Portal Group is not here to tell you what to do, it is here to remove obstacles and make your work easier. The only "hard" requirement for any project is that should be in line with the goals of the Portal, as best outlined in [[2: What Is The Portal#What The Portal is About|Episode 2]] and [[18: Slipping the DISC: State of The Portal/Chapter 2020|Episode 18]] or in the [[The Portal Projects Group#Telos|telos]] written above. There is much freedom in approaching these goals.
+The Portal Group is not here to tell you what to do, it is here to remove obstacles and make your work easier. Veteran members of the community, who have contributed to a project or accomplished an ambitious task, are to be sought out for advice. Those who do work are quickly integrated.
-<!--  Simplicity: Maximize impact minimize complexity, Dawkins' power of an idea, simplicity does not mean unintelligent.
-"We're here to remove obstacles for you" - elders.
-And, if people are actually non-douche-ish, then we'll integrate you quickly into our whole deal here
-based on your interactions in the lobby, it would be best to frame it as "if you wanna do cool shit, start doing it. if you have cool shit to show and it's relevant to our goals, bother us and we'll try to give you rocket boosters to travel the cool shit galaxy" -->
-=== How shouldn't I contribute? ===
-<!-- Results better than aimless conversation. If you want to have conversations about the [[The Portal Podcast|Podcast]], see [[The Portal Discords]]. Bad behavior should be self-evident: it's contrary to the goals. Be respectful, be cool, exclude disruptive behavior, make beauty. If your logos can't be given strong form or body, then it cannot act on the world.
+The only "hard" requirement for any project is that it should be in line with the goals of the Portal, as best outlined in [[2: What Is The Portal#What The Portal is About|Episode 2]] and [[18: Slipping the DISC: State of The Portal/Chapter 2020|Episode 18]] or in the [[The Portal Projects Group#Telos|telos]] above. There is much freedom in selecting your approach these goals, but the ones that tend to last are overall simple. An idea's simplicity does not imply it is unintelligent or incapable, but rather it has a large impact relative to its underlying assumptions and complexity in execution. The fields listed below in particular are conducive to our goals:
+* Art
+* Video
+* Biology
 * Programming
-* Video
-* Art
 * Mathematics
 * Physics
-* Biology
-Join the Discord servers and jump into one of the chats, catch up on some of the conversations and ask questions.  See if your skillset and time are gonna help contribute to the project. If you still want to join then simply provide proof of past work in the lobby-and-introductions (Discord ID : 701792384773521428) and wait for one of the rollers to accept your request.
