# Contribution Guidelines for Amsterdam

## Introduction

This document explains how to contribute changes to the Amsterdam project.

## Development Location

While you may have found this project on GitHub or another site, the "source of truth" for the project will always
reside on [the Erbosoft code hosting site](https://git.erbosoft.com/amy/amsterdam). Serious contributors should
contact [Amy Bowersox](https://links.inclusiveladyship.com/@amy) for access.

## AI Contribution Policy

As per our [Code of Conduct](CODE-OF-CONDUCT.md), AI contributions are acceptable, but the submitting contributor _must:_
* Fully understand the contribution.
* Be able to explain design and implementation decisions without the use of AI.
* Accept responsibility for maintenance and correctness.

Contributors should indicate AI-generated content in issue and pull request descriptions and comments, specifying which model was used.

Do _not_ use AI to reply to questions about your issue or pull request. The questions are for _you,_ the human, not an AI model.

All project contributions must be submitted by _identifiable human participants_ who accept full responibility for their content.
Automated agents, bots, or autonomous AI systems _may not_ independently submit issues, pull requests, or other contributions.

Project maintainers retain _full discretion_ to close pull requests and issues that appear to be low-quality AI-generated content.
While we welcome new contributors, we want to see those that will engage constructively with the review process, rather than deferring
to AI.
