History

These guidelines are strongly inspired by the excellent prior art of ESLint and WebdriverIO.

They were initally drafted for the mocha and neostandard projects, aiming to provide them and other projects a common baseline that's easy to adopt and provides clarity on usage of funds – for maintainers as well as community.

First draft was written by @voxpelli with review and feedback from fellow co-maintainers and community.

To fascilitate feedback the Collective Funds group was set up, to help the community evolve the guidelines further.
