# Contributing

This project is **OPEN** open source

### What?

Individuals making significant and valuable contributions are given commit-access to the project to contribute as they
see fit.

### Rules

There are a few basic ground-rules for contributors:

1. **No `--force` pushes** or modifying the git history in any way.
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.

### Releases

Declaring formal releases remains the prerogative of the project maintainer(s).

### 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.
