# Wampire an OPEN Open Source Project
## What?
Individuals making significant and valuable contributions are given commit-access to the project to contribute as they see fit. This project is more like an open wiki than a standard guarded open source project.
## Rules
There are a few basic ground-rules for contributors:
1. **No `--force` pushes** on `master` or modifying the Git history in any way after a PR has been merged.
1. **Non-master branches** ought to be used for ongoing work.
1. **External API changes and significant modifications** ought to be subject to an **internal pull-request** to solicit feedback from other contributors.
1. Internal pull-requests to solicit feedback are *encouraged* for any other non-trivial contribution but left to the discretion of the contributor.
1. Contributors should attempt to adhere to the prevailing code-style.
1. At least two contributors, or one core member, must approve pull-requests prior to merging.
1. All integrated CI services must be green, unless an agreement has been reached in the conversation about the exception, before a pull-request can be merged.
1. Breaking changes or significant new features must be merged by a core member. Small pull-requests, e.g. documentation typo corrections, may be merged by any member with commit access.
## Releases
Declaring formal releases remains the prerogative of the project maintainers.
## Changes to this arrangement
This is an experiment and feedback is welcome! This document may also be subject to pull-requests or changes by contributors where you believe you have something valuable to add or change.
