<p>
Welcome to the Directory community!
</p>
<p>
The Apache Directory Project, like all other projects at Apache,
is a <em>meritocracy</em> and follows the <em>Apache Way</em> of
community and project management. The following documents
help define these terms and form the guidelines by which the
Directory Project operates.

<section name="Opening up the Directory Project's Repositories">
<p>
The Directory Project continually looks at ways to cooperate
better with other projects, especially here at Apache.
Code reuse by us and others using our APIs is one of our
primary goals.
</p>
<p>
If you are from another Apache project, and would like all the
committers from your project to have access to the Directory
Repositories, all you need to do is ask the Directory PMC
</p>
<p>
The PMC will let you know if your request is accepted or
not. If you are interested in commit privileges, but are not
part of one of the Apache projects, then you have to do it
the old fashioned way and participate on the mailing lists
and post patches, etc. We are taking advantage of the Apache
infrastructure to make this happen.
