-
No code should appear to work "by magic". Readability is key.
-
Testing will be applied to security modules and whenever a post-launch bugfix is committed. We do not aim for total testing but selective regression testing.
-
Security bugs jump the development queue and are a priority.
-
We will never accept commits of, or ourselves write, paywall features into Janeway.
Janeway is available under the terms of the GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (Version 3, 19 November 2007).
