This document outlines our understanding of what this +means. + +## Roles + +* user: anyone who interacts with the i3 project +* core contributor: a handful of people who have contributed significantly to + the project by any means (issue triage, support, documentation, code, etc.). + Core contributors are recognizable via GitHub’s “Member” badge. +* BDFL: a single individual who makes decisions when consensus cannot be + reached. i3’s current BDFL is [@stapelberg](https://github.com/stapelberg). + +## Decision making process + +In general, we try to reach consensus in discussions. In case consensus cannot +be reached, the BDFL makes a decision. + +For feature requests and code contributions specifically, the values with which +we consider them can be found on the bottom of https://i3wm.org/. These values +are not set in stone and are to be treated as guiding principles, not absolute +rules that must be followed in every case. + +## Contribution process + +Please see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md). -- 2.39.2
