1. The Rules of Solr may be changed by consensus.
2. Community over code.
We will consider our fellow and future developers before our spiffy code change/fix/feature. We share this project.
3. Develop for long term health.
We will work towards solutions that can maintain - via enforcement, documentation, good logging, and consideration. I'm not as smart as you, I don't have as much time as you, and I'm not here for the same reasons as you - but there is work I need to do.
4. Code reviews for anything beyond trivial.
We will not be a kitchen sink or a pet project or test bed because of ill timing or current developer level health.
