# Code of Merit (1.0-r1)
|
|
|
|
1. The project creators, lead developers, core team, ("The Maintainers") constitute
|
|
the managing members of the project and have final say in every decision
|
|
of the project, technical or otherwise, including overruling previous decisions.
|
|
There are no limitations to this decisional power.
|
|
|
|
2. Contributions are an expected result of your membership on the project.
|
|
Don't expect others to do your work or help you with your work forever.
|
|
|
|
3. All members have the same opportunities to seek any challenge they want
|
|
within the project.
|
|
|
|
4. Authority or position in the project will be proportional
|
|
to the accrued contribution. Seniority must be earned.
|
|
|
|
5. Software is evolutive: the better implementations must supersede lesser
|
|
implementations. Technical advantage is the primary evaluation metric.
|
|
|
|
6. This is a space for technical prowess; topics outside of the project
|
|
will not be tolerated.
|
|
|
|
7. Non technical conflicts will be discussed in a separate space. Disruption
|
|
of the project will not be allowed.
|
|
|
|
8. Individual characteristics, including but not limited to,
|
|
body, sex, sexual preference, race, language, religion, nationality,
|
|
or political preferences are irrelevant in the scope of the project and
|
|
will not be taken into account concerning your value or that of your contribution
|
|
to the project.
|
|
|
|
9. Discuss or debate the idea, not the person.
|
|
|
|
10. There is no room for ambiguity: Ambiguity will be met with questioning;
|
|
further ambiguity will be met with silence. It is the responsibility
|
|
of the originator to provide requested context.
|
|
|
|
11. If something is illegal outside the scope of the project, it is illegal
|
|
in the scope of the project. This Code of Merit does not take precedence over
|
|
governing law within the jurisdiction(s) of The Maintainers.
|
|
|
|
(11.a) If the algorithms implemented in this project (eg., cryptography)
|
|
are illegal or prohibited in your local jurisdiction, it is your personal
|
|
responsibility to consider how, or if, you should attempt to participate in this
|
|
project. The Maintainers disclaim all liability for others' actions and decisions
|
|
in this regard.
|
|
|
|
12. This Code of Merit governs the technical procedures of the project not the
|
|
activities outside of it.
|
|
|
|
13. Participation on the project equates to agreement of this Code of Merit.
|
|
|
|
14. No objectives beyond the stated objectives of this project are relevant
|
|
to the project. Any intent to deviate the project from its original purpose
|
|
of existence will constitute grounds for remedial action which may include
|
|
expulsion from the project.
