#3 [Question] Project Requirements

Question: What are the project requirements to join Peers?

I think it is fairly obvious why you would want to join Peers, however I wanted to start a discussion about any reason a protect might not want to join Peers.

For instance, does Peers implement any restrictions on its member projects?

Sorry for the delay on responding, @dfsafdsaa. I've been sick the last few days.

This is an interesting question. We don't have an explicit set of requirements. But we have the two implied requirements with respect to free software and community. The project must qualify as free software and the maintainers must make an active contribution to the community such as interacting via irc on #peers or providing infrastructure such as with vikings.net.

weird.. I did not receive a notification for this thread, I was only notified of @vaeringjar reply. Anyway...

It's not as formal as it might seem. It's a community effort to develop and support free culture projects, not to micromanage people or projects. We have always welcomed any project as long as they wish to be part of a larger community and are fully committed to free culture.
