SVG-edit is a community-managed project with the general principles of Free and Open Source software and Open Organizations.

The current admins are: * Ahmad Syazwan * Brion Vibber * Jeff Schiller * Marc Laporte * Pavol Rusnak

Admins rarely need to vote because decisions are usually consensual and it's a [doOcracy](http://www.communitywiki.org/en/DoOcracy). When a vote is required, these are the people (ex.: for legal/political reasons such as a formal motion needed for external needs). Admins are voted in by other admins.
Ongoing responsibilities of the Admins

    Add/remove commit access for contributors
    They also act as a safe guard, as a last resort, to deal with [Difficult People](http://producingoss.com/en/difficult-people.html) or [Poisonous People](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSFDm3UYkeE).

- Security fix: 'extPath', 'imgPath', 'extIconsPath', 'canvgPath', 'langPath', 'jGraduatePath', and 'jspdfPath' were not being prevented - Breaking change: Rename "svgutils.js" to "utilities.js" (make in conformity with JSDoc module naming convention) - Breaking change: Rename "svgedit.js" to "namespaces.js" (to make clear purpose and avoid confusing with editor) - Breaking change: Rename "jquery-svg.js" to "jQuery.attr.js" - Breaking change: Rename "jquery.contextMenu.js" to "jQuery.contextMenu.js" - Breaking change: Rename "jquery.jpicker.js" to "jQuery.jPicker.js" - Breaking change: Rename "JQuerySpinBtn.css" to "jQuery.SpinButton.css" - Breaking change: Rename "JQuerySpinBtn.js" to "jQuery.SpinButton.js" (to have file name more closely reflect name) - Breaking change: Rename "jquery.svgicons.js" to "jQuery.svgIcons.js" - Breaking change: Rename "jquery.jgraduate.js" to "jQuery.jGraduate.js" - Breaking change: Rename "pathseg.js" to "svgpathseg.js" (as it is a poyfill of SVGPathSeg) - Breaking change: Rename `addSvgElementFromJson()` to `addSVGElementFromJson` for consistency - Breaking change: Rename `changeSvgContent()` to `changeSVGContent()` for consistency - Breaking change: Have `exportPDF` resolve with `output` and `outputType` rather than `dataurlstring` (as type may vary) - Breaking change: Rename `extensions/mathjax/MathJax.js` to `extensions/mathjax/MathJax.min.js` - Breaking change: Avoid recent change to have editor ready callbacks return Promises (we're not using and advantageous to keep sequential) - Breaking change: Avoid recent addition of locale-side function in ext-imagelib for l10n - Breaking change: Change name of ext-arrows.js from `Arrows` to `arrows` for sake of file path (not localized anyways). - Breaking change: Change `addlangData` extension event to `addLangData` for consistency with method name - Breaking change: Have `readLang` return lang and data but do not call `setLang` - Fix: Have general locales load first so extensions may use - Fix: Provide `importLocale` to extensions `init` so it may delay adding of the extension until locale data loaded - Fix: Ensure call to `rasterExport` without `imgType` properly sets MIME type to PNG - Fix: Wrong name for moinsave - Update: Update WebAppFind per new API changes - Enhancement: Make `setStrings` public on editor for late setting (used by `ext-shapes.js`) - Enhancement: Add `extensions_added` event - Enhancement: Add `message` event (Relay messages including those which have been been received prior to extension load) - Enhancement: Allow SVGEdit to work out of the box--avoid need for copying sample config file. Should also help with Github-based file servers - Enhancement: Allow avoiding "name" in extension export (just extract out of file name) - Enhancement: Add stack blur to canvg by default (and refactoring it) - Enhancement: Return `Promise` for `embedImage` (as with some other loading methods) - Enhancement: Supply `importLocale` to `langReady` to facilitate extension locale loading - Enhancement: Recover if an extension fails to load (just log and otherwise ignore) - Enhancement: More i18n of extensions (also fixed issue with some console warnings about missing locale strings); i18nize Hello World too - Enhancement: Allowing importing of locales within `addLangData` - npm: Update devDeps - Docs: Migrate copies of all old wiki pages to docs/from-old-wiki folder; intended for a possible move to Markdown, so raw HTML (with formatting) was not preserved, though named links had their absolute URL links preserved - Docs: Begin deleting `SvgCanvas.md` as ensuring jsdoc has replacements - Docs: Add Edtior doc file for help to general users - Docs: Clarify/simplify install instructions - npm/Docs (JSDoc): Add script to check for overly generic types - Docs (JSDoc): For config/prefs and extension creating, link to tutorials (moved tutorials to own directory to avoid recursion problems by jsdoc) - Docs (JSDoc): Add modules (upper case for usual main entrance files or regular names) - Docs (JSDoc): Fill out missing areas; indicate return of `undefined`; consistency with `@returns` - Docs (JSDoc): Add our own layout template to support overflow - Docs (JSDoc): Use cleverLinks and disallow unknown tags - Docs (JSDoc): Insist on "pedantic" flag; put output directory in config - Docs (JSDoc): Use more precise Integer/Float over number, the specific type of array/function/object - Docs (JSDoc): Use `@throws`, `@enum`, `@event`/`@fires`/`@listens` - Docs: Generally update/improve docs (fixes #92) - Docs: Update links to `latest` path (Avoid needing to update such references upon each release) - Docs: 80 chars max - Refactoring: Drop code for extension as function (already requiring export to be an object) - Refactoring: Object destructuring, `Object.entries`, Object shorthand, array extras, more camelCase variable names - Refactoring: Add a `Command` base class - Refactoring: Simplify svgicons `callback` ready detection - Refactoring: Put `let` or `const` closer to scope - Refactoring: Remove unneeded `delimiter` from regex escaping utility - Refactoring: Clearer variable names - Refactoring: Use (non-deprecated) Event constructors - Testing: Use new Sinon 2018-06-06 07:26:20 +00:00			`SVG-edit is a community-managed project with the general principles of Free and Open Source software and Open Organizations.`
