The moment you have a centralised policy you take

community.
By having a base set of simple policies in the Incubator that are
atuomatically created when a project starts up you give them the best
guide
to establishing themselves well before that
project goes live, ince a
project is live it has to be allowed to develop its community.
We already have the 5 pillars which are the basis for the projects, but
meta is not a place that the content creating community spends a lot of
time.
