+ ### How things get done in the Node.js project
170
+
171
+ #### Goal
172
+
173
+ Help people understand that no people are paid to answer their issues or
174
+ implement their pull requests. Things get done based on what volunteers work on
175
+ and the best way to get something fixed/changed is to submit a Pull request.
176
+
177
+ Some of the things to highlight include:
178
+
179
+ * Nobody is paid specifically to answer issues, fix bugs or implement new features.
180
+ * No company owns/supports Node.js. Most contributions are from individuals
181
+ as opposed to organizations. When an individual becomes a collaborator
182
+ the access and priviledges are granted to the indidual, their employer does
183
+ not gain any additional rights in the project.
184
+ * The governance of the project is specifically designed to prevent one or
185
+ a small number of companies from dominating the project.
186
+ * Decisions are made by the active collaborators, there is no single person
187
+ who makes a decision for the project on their own. This can slow down
188
+ decision making but most often results in better outcomes.
189
+ * The project is open and receptive to contributions. If you need something PR
190
+ in a fix or feature.
191
+ * Maintainers are people just like you, with many priorities and end goals. We
192
+ all have the same goal of moving the Node.js project forward but at the same
193
+ time we all have other responsibilities that affect how much time we have
194
+ available to do so.
195
+ * People are volunteering their time to review your PRs and answer questions in
196
+ the issues you open. Be mindfull of your asks for their time and acknowledge
197
+ the gift of their time. Too many issues/PRs in a short period of time may
198
+ overwelm maintainers leading to less progress versus more, try to pace your
199
+ issues and PRs so that you don't have too many open at the same time. The
200
+ same goes for comments in discussions, try to avoid overwelming a discussion
201
+ with too many responses, even too much useful data can overwelm a discussion
202
+ leading to lower engagement.
203
+ * While volunteers work to do the right thing for the community, the project
204
+ does not owe anybody anything and does not tolerate abusive or
205
+ demanding language in issues, discussions or PRs. A respectful dialog will
206
+ maximize the chances of the outcome you desire.
207
+ * If you depend on timely support or an SLA, contract with a company that provides
208
+ paid support and will prioritize your issues.
