# Code of Merit
|
||
|
||
**1.** The project creators, lead developers, core team, 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.
|
||
|
||
**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.
