| # Glowstone is 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** or modifying the Git history in any way. |
| 1. **Branches other than `dev` and LTS** 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. |
| |
