<h1>Roles</h1>
<p>Individuals involved in the CruiseControl project can fit into one
of several roles. Responsibilities implied by each role are outlined
below.</p>
<h2><a name="user">User</a></h2>
<p>Also known as a "Cruiser", this role applies to individuals using
CruiseControl as a product. Cruisers identify bugs and may request
feature enhancements. Cruisers have their own mailing list.</p>
<h2><a name="developer">Developer</a></h2>
<p>Developers participate in discussions on the developer's mailing
list and may contribute documentation and source code patches. See the
process for making <a href="contributions.html">contributions</a> to
the CruiseControl project.</p>
<h2><a name="committer">Committer</a></h2>
<p>Committers have write access to the CruiseControl project.
Committers have been granted this privilege because they have shown a
continued dedication to the project. This usually includes frequent
contributions to the project as a Developer.</p>
<p>Any Committer may nominate a Developer to receive Committer status.
The decision to include the nominee will be made by following the same
format outlined in the <a href="decisions.html">decision</a> document.
However, the vote must be unanimous among the Committers and
Administrators and cannot be appealed to the Project Management
Committee. The voting period will be extended to 72 hours to allow
extra time for everyone to participate in this major project decision
point. Committers may renominate Developers for Committer status if the
Committer feels that the nominee has displayed significant dedication
to the project which should be considered in a revote.</p>
<p>Committers may have their status revoked. If a Committer does not
contribute positively to the project, then any Committer or
Administrator may appeal to the Project Management Committee to revoke
commit privileges. The appeal to revoke privileges MUST be accompanied
by a succinct message including the reasons the privileges should be
revoked. Revoking privileges should be considered an extreme measure
that should only be exercised when extreme circumstances warrant it.</p>
<h2><a name="administrator">Administrator</a></h2>
<p>Project Administrators are members of the Project Management
Committee. The committee monitors the project and acts as a final
authority in making decisions.</p>
<p>Any Administrator may nominate any Committer to receive Administrator
status. The Project Management Committee must decided unanimously to
grant Administrative privileges.</p>
