It appears to be something for for-profit corporations to do to appear less rapacious.
It's not clear what its applicability is to a 501(c)3 charity, given that you only get 501(c)3 by being of social benefit in the first place.
Yes, but it would be good if we would have "Social Contract", like Debian has: http://www.debian.org/social_contract
We are not short of similar firmly held policies, such as neutral point of view. They are mostly written out in our policy pages. What would you add or emphasize? Citizendium created a charter, http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Charter We could do the same, but it would be an exercise in affirming policies we have already adopted either by us or the wiki movement in general. (Some of which Citizendium rejects in the name of control by academic authority).
