This is Clio, a web-based system for maintaining (meta-)information on software components.

Everyone is welcome to participate and contribute to the project.

For the summer of 2018, Gopalakrishnan V (@gopuvenkat) was selected for GSoC and will work on implementing basic Clio functionality.

The Clio code is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later. The complete text of the license is in the file named LICENSE on the top-level directory. Other software components under other licenses may also be present in this repository. All the licenses are collected in the top-level directory Licenses.

There is no copyright assignement, nor a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for participating on this project. Each contriburor maintains authorship of their code.

Each file should be marked with the correct license information:

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later

We try to follow the reuse.software guidelines (with some minor changes). Top-level directories include src for actual sources, and doc for documentation.

We use a variety of means for communicating.

Obviously a lot is happening via discussion on the issues and pull requests.

For more real-time collaboration, we use a dedicated zulip at http://clio.zulipchat.com.
