Because of the advantages of publishing online, lots of publishers still only sell hard copies of releases due to reasons such as nostalgic motives, political statements against the 'everywhere always online' omnipresence of our current society, or because they want to control the appearance of their product. In addition to satisfying our reading habits, editions can be collectible because of their physical characteristics such as printing techniques, book design, layout, binding, choice of paper, special finishing, etc. <br>
These choices affect how we read, receive the message and value it. Although the possibilities of professional printing and finishing techniques are getting more accessible due to technological development, they are often limited in customization and design options as they are marketed as practical solutions for the office environment.
We created a code of conduct to make sure that we were on the same page about the fundamentals of our regular interactions as a group. It served as a reference on how to approach each other and helped prevent avoidable unconstructive conflict.

<br>
<divclass="code">
<ul>
<li>Listen, don’t interrupt.</li>
<li>Listen actively - Show that you’ve understood.</li>
<li>If you don’t agree, you can still accept others opinions.</li>
<li>When negotiating, be convivial (be nice!).</li>
<li>Ask what is needed before you give.</li>
<li>If personal issues arise, try to address/resolve - if not: park it for the sake of the project.</li>
<li>When you don’t understand, ask for help (be humble).</li>
<li>Be aware of the space you take. (Check temperature - silence is OKAY!)</li>
<li>Before making a decision, check with others (might be an unhappy average).</li>
<li>Speak for yourself and your own experience (see links: nonviolent communication)</li>
<li>Use „AND“ instead of „BUT“ and „HOWEVER“.</li>
<li>These rules can be modified by consensus.</li>
Page forms is an extension that provides a <ahref="#mediawiki">MediaWiki</a> instance with templates to create pages, edit pages and add query data to them. <br>
We used these forms to implement the same categories for each document and assign them their collected properties.<br>
