.... still working on it....
Mission
- The mission of the Apertium project is to develop free/open-source machine translation for as many languages as possible
- (... brief mission material from Mikel's slides, small languages, philosophy)
Roles and responsibilities
Users
- The most important participants in the project are people who use Apertium. The majority of our developers start out as users and guide their development efforts from the user's perspective.
- Users contribute to the Apertium project by providing feedback to developers in the form of bug reports and feature suggestions. As well, users participate in the Apertium community by helping other users on the mailing list and in the chat channel
Developers
- Developers are volunteers who are contributing time, code, documentation, or resources to Apertium. A developer that makes sustained, welcome contributions to the project may be invited to become a committer, though the exact timing of such invitations depends on many factors
The assembly of committers
- The project's Committers are responsible for the project's technical management. Committers are developers who have write access to the project's source repositories. Committers may cast binding votes on any technical discussion regarding the project.
- The commiters of Apertium constitute the Assembly of Committers of Apertium
- The number of members of the Assembly of Committers of Apertium does not have any limit.
- Committer access is by invitation only and must be approved by the votes of the half of the members of the Assembly + 1 or well by the votes of all the Project Management Committee.
- A Committer is considered emeritus by their own declaration or by not contributing in any form to the project for over six months. An emeritus committer may request reinstatement of commit access from the PMC.
Disposicions transitòries
- The initial Assembly of Committers consists of everyone having commit access to the Apertium SVN repository at SourceForge when these by-laws are adopted
