Charter Details

1. Mission and Scope

  • Mission: We develop tools and processes to help wikipedians contributing Buddhist texts on Wikisource, facts on Wikidata and knowledge on Wikipedia – at scale.

  • In Scope: A bulleted list of what this WG is responsible for.

    • Example: Managing the project’s CI/CD systems.
    • Example: Owning and maintaining the project/infra code repository.
    • Example: Defining and enforcing data backup and recovery policies.

  • Out of Scope: A bulleted list of what this WG is explicitly not responsible for, to prevent ambiguity.

    • Example: Managing user-facing application features.
    • Example: Setting the project’s overall strategic direction.

2. Responsibilities and Deliverables

  • Core Responsibilities: A clear, bulleted list of the WG’s ongoing duties.

    • Example: Triage and prioritize bugs and feature requests related to owned assets.
    • Example: Review and merge pull requests against owned repositories.
    • Example: Publish a quarterly status report to the community.

  • Key Deliverables: Tangible services or products the WG provides.

    • Example: A stable and documented build and test environment.
    • Example: Public-facing dashboards for system health and performance.

3. Governance and Decision Making

  • Decision-Making Process: How does the WG make decisions?

    • Example: “Decisions are made by lazy consensus. Proposals are posted to the mailing list for 72 hours. If no objections are raised, the proposal is accepted. If there are objections, a formal vote is held during the next meeting, requiring a simple majority to pass.”

  • Conflict Resolution: How are disagreements handled?

    • Example: “Disagreements are first discussed within the WG. If a consensus cannot be reached, the WG Chair makes the final call. Decisions can be appealed to the project’s Steering Committee.”
