- Maintain Technological Focus and Ideological Neutrality. This
project is committed to technological excellence and neutrality. We
do not take positions on political, ideological, or social issues
in the name of the development team. Accordingly, please refrain
from making such statements under the project's banner, even if
they reflect personal beliefs or convictions; such declarations are
not appropriate within the context of the project and should be
kept separate from technical discourse.
- Adhere to Merit-Based Evaluation. We evaluate contributions
based solely on their technical merit and relevance to the
project. Personal identity, affiliations, or background are not
factored into this evaluation, and should not be emphasized. Please
refrain from emphasizing such details within project
discussions. If, after reading this, you still choose to foreground
such information, you accept sole responsibility for any resulting
consequences or interpretations.
- Engage Constructively and Charitably. Avoid making premature
and/or harsh judgments. If someone proposes an idea they find
intuitive but appears underdeveloped or difficult to justify, aim
to understand the underlying intent, refine their proposal and
strengthen their reasonings with the same level of care you would
wish for your own ideas. Conversely, if your own proposal is
rejected, engage with the feedback thoughtfully, and continue the
dialogue in a professional and constructive manner.
- Practice Empathy and Respect. Treat all contributors with basic
decency and respect. Every individual brings with them personal
experiences and challenges that may not be immediately
visible. Regardless of your current circumstances, please engage
with others in a way that you would consider fair and considerate
under reversed roles.
BY CHOOSING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PROJECT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
PARTICIPATION DOES NOT ENTITLE YOU TO CREATE OR ASSUME POSITIONS OF
AUTHORITY, GOVERNANCE, OR REPRESENTATION OVER THE PROJECT OR ITS
COMMUNITY. This includes, but is not limited to, establishing
unofficial forums, channels, or subgroups (e.g. subreddits, Discord
servers) where you claim administrative or leadership status in
association with the project. Should you proceed with such
initiatives, they will not be recognized or endorsed by the
development team in any capacity. Furthermore, the development team
explicitly disclaims any role as a moderation body. There will be no
moderation team empowered to control contributions or project
direction beyond technical evaluation and code review. Decisions about
what is included in the project will remain solely merit-based and
decentralized.
