In keeping with our [Terms of Service](https://gratipay.com/about/terms/), all | ||
projects on Gratipay are subject to a review process when they first apply, and | ||
as needed thereafter. Review happens in public in [the `project-review` | ||
repo](https://github.com/gratipay/project-review/issues). | ||
|
||
To help review projects, | ||
[watch](https://help.github.com/articles/watching-repositories/) the repo. | ||
Anyone who thinks that a project does not belong on Gratipay has to make a case | ||
publicly on GitHub, and we have to leave enough time for the community to weigh | ||
in before rejecting a project. [Chad Whitacre](https://github.com/whit537) has | ||
the final say. | ||
|
||
The only way to find out if a project will be approved is to | ||
[apply](https://gratipay.com/new) for a project. We don't answer, “Will | ||
you accept foo?” questions apart from the actual project application | ||
process. | ||
|
||
*Note: Issues in `project-review` before December, 2016 had more stringent | ||
requirements, explained in the [previous | ||
version](https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/blob/d73f4c7438bb2cc8781c0298deb3f7b2edeab176/www/howto/review-teams.spt) | ||

||
All Teams on Gratipay are subject to a review process when they first apply, | ||
and as needed thereafter, to make sure they and we are a good fit for each | ||
other. Review happens in public in [the `team-review` | ||
repo](https://github.com/gratipay/team-review/issues). To help review Teams, | ||
[watch that repo](https://help.github.com/articles/watching-repositories/). | ||
|
||
There are two criteria for approval. | ||
|
||
First, the Team must offer open work. Here's the thought experiment: "Could I | ||
as an individual voluntarily start doing the Team's work without having to | ||
coordinate with anyone?" Review their onboarding documentation and to-dos to | ||
make a determination. This is a positive criterion: we assume a Team is closed | ||
unless they can show us that they're open. | ||
|
||
Second, the Team's brand must not clash too strongly with our own [brand | ||
values](/big-picture/brand/). This is obviously much more of a judgement call | ||
than the first criterion. Past rejections are the best indicator of how to | ||
apply this criterion to new applications. This second criterion is negative: | ||
Teams are innocent of brand violation until proven guilty. Anyone who thinks | ||
that a Team *does* clash with our brand has to make a case publicly on GitHub, | ||
and we have to leave enough time for the community to weigh in before rejecting | ||
a Team. The buck does have to stop somewhere, of course. Currently, Gratipay | ||
founder [Chad Whitacre](https://github.com/whit537) is the final arbiter of | ||
decisions around brand fit. | ||
|
||
The only way to find out if a Team will be approved is to apply for a Team. We | ||
don't answer, "Will you accept ________?" questions apart from the actual Team | ||
application process. |
