Governance Model

An issue is created describing the proposed code change.
After a review/design process, the maintainers of the project accept the proposed change.
Change is implemented and submitted as a pull request.
Pull request is reviewed and ultimately approved when it aligns with the agreed-upon design and coding/architecture standards of the project.
So far the project has only received sporadic pull requests.

New committers would ideally have made substantial contributions via pull requests which would demonstrate their understanding of the internals of the project, after which they could request contributor status via email.

• Extra actions per stage : OnStartControl/OnInputRender/OnTryAcceptInput/OnFinishControl (ever)
• Tooltips (ever and configurable)
• Filter by Contains / StartsWith (configurable) (depends on the control)
• Collection subset items and interations (depends on the control)
• Page information and page-size(depends on the control)
• Spinner animmation (depends on the control)
• Error message (depends on the control and validators)
