Caretaker has been revamped into a single-page file: https://gist.github.com/passcod/7332390db1813f9bccb07e5cf3a9649b

Eventually I do intend to remix the contents of this repo into a "caretaker manifesto / discussion / essay" or whatever, but for now please disregard.

The Caretaker System

Version 0.1 — 2020

This repository contains the source of the website https://caretaker.passcod.name, which codifies an open software management system “addon” aimed at changing the expectations on and from developers, contributors, helpers, and users, in the goal of redistributing burden and effort more fairly, for small to medium projects.

To learn more about this system, read the website.

To discuss the system, use the issues on this repository.

To use the system, include something like the following paragraph:

You may contribute: this project supports the Caretaker System of contributions as well as usual open source rules.

(And of course, you and your project should itself apply the system!)

To remix, modify, fork, or otherwise adapt the system, you need to:

  • choose a different name, and
  • state it is a modification on this one, with a link back, and
  • respect the license.

To redistribute or host the system elsewhere, and generally for all purposes including the above, the license applies:
