Policy
&TCAR; is a collaborative tool that anyone can have access to.
However, changing that tool in any form is something that
should be requested in &TCDML;. Generally, people download
working copies of &TCAR; to study its organization, make local
changes, test the changes really work the way expected and
finally, request access to commit them up to &TCAR; for others
to benefit from them.
Once you've received access to commit your changes, there is
no need for you to request permission again to commit other
changes from your working copy to &TCAR; as long as you behave
as a good cooperating citizen.
Otherwise, your rights to commit changes might be temporarly
revoked or permanently banished.
As a good cooperating citizen one understand of a person who
respects the work already done by others and share ideas with
authors before changing relevant parts of their work,
specially in situations when the access required to realize
the changes has been granted already. Of course, there is a
time when conversation has taken place, the paths has been
traced and changing the work is so obvious that there is no
need for you to talk about it; that's because you already did,
you already built the trust to keep going. As complement, the
mailing list mentioned above is available for sharing ideas in
a way that good relationship between community citizens could
be constantly balanced.
The relationship between community citizens is monitored by
repository administrators. Repository administrators are
responsible of granting that everything goes the way it needs
to go in order for &TCAR; to accomplish its mission which is:
to provide a colaborative tool for &TCC; where &TCPCVI; could
be built and maintained by &TCC; itself.
The content produced inside &TCAR; is copyright of &TCAS; and
this is something you, as author, need to be aware of because
you are giving part of your creation's rights to someone else;
&TCAS; for this matter. In this case, your work is
distributed using &TCAS; as copyright holder not your name.
Because &TCAS; is the copyright holder, is the license chosen
by &TCAS; the one applied to your work, so it is the one you
need to agree with before making a creation inside &TCAR;.
We belive that working together is far better than working
alone; eventhough somtimes, working alone is the only possible
way of reaching the state of glory which is to work
syncronized all together in freedom.
