* Using These Tools

Many of these tools can be adapted for use outside of the community for whom they were created. The success of a tool often results from community collaboration and input, and these origins are important to consider when thinking about transposing use to a new community. If you want to use or adapt any tools for your purposes, the best practice is communicating directly with its developer, to discuss your intent and secure permission.
