  6. Governance Structure
  7. ---------------------
  8. The Tripal project recognizes these roles:
  9. - Users: They have downloaded Tripal! Maybe they even have a site!
  10. - Contributors: contributing! Code, comments, discussion, questions, bug reports.
  11. - Committers: write access to the repository.
  12. - PMC: Makes **code relevant** decisions.
  13. - Oversight committee: Makes **policy level** decisions. This may overlap with PMC, but the idea is the oversight committee includes parties who are **not necessarily coders** and therefore not reviewing Pull requests etc.
