It can be summed up as follows:

<blockquote>'''Do-ocracy:''' If you want something done, do it, but remember to be excellent to each other when doing so.</blockquote>

If you think it'd be cool to build something out of some parts in the Parts Repository, the tables should be re-arranged, or a new workshop should be built, '''you should do it'''! But remember to be excellent.
