| 20 | Does the website allow outside volunteers to do real work for the organization, beyond just fundraising and activism (letter writing, etc.), by signing up for tasks listed on the site and then doing the work and possibly delivering a finished work product to the site?

| 24 | If the website does include day-to-day work, are most of the documents available in open-standard file formats that almost anybody with a computer can read, rather than proprietary formats? For example, is the content available in formats like .html and .txt, rather than formats like Word .doc and Excel .xls? (like, for example, the OSAF wiki content) | no | |
| 25 | Are most of the documents on the website available under some sort of "open content" license (such as a Creative Commons license) that allows the public to re-use the work? (like, for example, the OSAF work products) | no | |
| 26 | Does the website offer a fossil record of historical documents? Is it the case that if a document was ever posted to the website, then it will still be publicly available somewhere in the website's "graveyard" or "attic" space, and still available at its original URL? For living documents or web pages that change over time, is it always possible to see all the earlier versions of the documents? | press releases [18] and other publications [19] | |
| Governance | Does the website include: | ||
| 27 | a copy of the organization's bylaws or articles of incorporation? (like the Wikimedia Foundation bylaws, the Google Foundation Articles of Incorporation, or the Transparency International Charter) | no | |
