# Project and maintainers

Legible Protocol brings together an open specification, reference code and
writing on the economics of legibility, in draft form for tests and contributions.
Its current maintainer is Diogo Carlotto, author of *Open Legibility* and
*The Economics of Legibility*.

## Maintenance and participation

At this stage, the maintainer reviews and incorporates changes. Other people
can contribute and take on component maintenance, agreeing on responsibilities
and access. The maintainer list will be updated as this happens.

The proposed GitHub organization will group repositories and collaboration
permissions. Each component identifies its maintainers. Participants remain
responsible for the environments where they run it; the project does not
operate their Legible spaces.

Contributions offered for incorporation follow DCO 1.1 and each repository's
review and Git-signing policies. These procedures do not condition the creation
or validity of Legible records in independent spaces.

## Editions, records and independent proposals

The publication identifies the specification edition it presents.
Its maintainers choose the records accompanying the materials. The collection
contains only selected records and may remain empty.

A contribution not incorporated here may continue circulating elsewhere.
The [fork conventions](forks.md) explain how to identify independent proposals
with their own names, versions and maintenance.

## Repositories and reading site

Sources are organized in three repositories in the LegibleProtocol organization.
`protocol` contains the specification, formats, reference code and tests.
`website` contains the site pages, their translations and the generator.
`publications` contains the book, papers and their translations, with its own
Issues for discussing arguments, suggesting references and proposing corrections.
Proposed changes and contributions are tracked in the relevant repository.

The site presents these materials for people and AI tools to read. The displayed
specification corresponds to the edition identified in the publication, and the
generator checks the technical files used for that preparation. Complete sources
remain in the repositories; first-use attachments and examples remain available here.
