AstroGrid Development Policies and Procedures

Introduction

AstroGrid is a centrally funded, distributed development to build the first UK Virtual Observatory. Contributions to the project will come from sources that are many and varied. Some of these contributors will be full time employees of the AstroGrid project whilst others will be giving their time freely. With this in mind, AstroGrid lends itself to an Open Source style organisation.

The documents referenced here describe that organisation with due consideration given to the unique aspects of the AstroGrid community.
