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.
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.
