The Xerte Project is a meritocratic, consensus-based community project. Anyone with an interest in the project can join the community, contribute to the project design and participate in the decision making process. This wiki describes how that participation takes place and how to set about earning merit within the project community.
The Xerte Project produces free, open-source tools for the production of interactive learning materials. The project emphasises ease-of-use for non-technical users, whilst at the same time providing powerful tools for developers, and providing best in class accessibility. Developments are based on real world use cases identified by the user community. The project fosters a positive, supportive and friendly community of users and developers.
All future development decisions should be based firmly in these values. The community is a meritocracy, reflecting the maturity and stability of the project. The community as a whole makes decisions about the project, and every member of the community has a say.
