One possible way of structuring the Collaboratorim community might distinguish the following roles for participants:
- Readers
Users who view the site but do not contribute anything
- Voters
Users who vote on models and debates, but do not make any other contributions
- Contributors
Users who vote, participate in debates, suggest plans, and add or refine models
- Moderators
Graduate students, young professionals, and others who help review and maintain the quality of the models, plans, and debates. Moderators have special system privileges.
- Scientific Council
Scientific and other experts who advise Moderators,
- Scientific Advisory Board
Well-known experts who provide overall guidance for the project and help recruit members of the Scientific Council.
