# 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.
|
||
|
||
## Contribution process
