Governance

This document describes how the Re in Act project makes decisions about specification and documentation changes.

Decision-Making

Changes are made through a proposal-first, consensus-seeking process:

  1. Proposal — A contributor submits a formal proposal
  2. Discussion — The community reviews and provides feedback
  3. Revision — The author updates the proposal based on feedback
  4. Decision — Maintainers accept, defer, or reject with rationale

Roles

Versioning

Specification versions are released on a date-based schedule (YYYY-MM-DD). Each release is immutable once published.

Draft updates continue under specification/draft/ until promoted to a dated version.
