# Because the new system can allow us to grant a potentially large number of aircraft developers commit access, we deem it desireabe to formulate an explicit set of rules with regard to the contributor's rights and obligations. It should be noted that the following rules are not really new, but merely formalizations of our existing code of conduct. By explicitly formulating them, our main goal is to avoid misunderstanding, and to provide clear guidelines in the unlikely event of misuse of commit rights. | # Because the new system can allow us to grant a potentially large number of aircraft developers commit access, we deem it desireabe to formulate an explicit set of rules with regard to the contributor's rights and obligations.

# Formulate and discuss plans for further separation into logical categories. | |||
# Once a consensus has been reached further split operations can be conducted. | |||
The rules describing the rights and obligations of committers are as follows: | The rules describing the rights and obligations of committers are as follows: | ||

Additional splits are possible, but we need to carefully evaluate how we should do that. Once we do have a decent plan we can continue with phase b) of the operation. I will add that to the plan later. | --[[User:Durk|Durk]] 05:02, 12 December 2011 (EST) I would also like to mention that we don't consider the initial split to be the final stage.

--[[User:Durk|Durk]] 05:22, 12 December 2011 (EST) Oh, and before I forget: James Turner is working on providing the infrastructure for aircraft meta-data. Once this in place, we would be much more flexible in splitting, but I would be cautious to not step beyond the initial stage before James is finished with that. | |||
