# i3 project governance
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Overview
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The i3 project uses a governance model commonly described as Benevolent
|
|||
|
|
Dictator For Life (BDFL). 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.
|
|||
