# Good Enough 4u0 ### Bylaws (Outline, Hacker Edition) **File:** `good-enough-4u0-bylaws-outline.md` ## 1. Membership - Anyone can join. - No degrees, no credentials required. - To stay a member, you must contribute at least one *Documented Substandard Design* (DSD). ## 2. Contributions - Every member submits one DSD: a design that is *not flawless, not useless, but good enough*. - Each DSD must include: - The defect (what makes it substandard). - Documentation (enough for someone else to build it). - License: free for anyone, no strings attached. - Flawless designs are forbidden. ## 3. Competency - Competency = knowing the line between “good enough” and “bad.” - Members evaluate each other’s work for judgment, not perfection. - Failed attempts are fine; hiding failure is not. ## 4. Governance - Flat structure: no hierarchy, just maintainers. - Maintainers = members who consistently contribute and document. - Decisions: rough consensus and running code (or parts). ## 5. Commons - Everything we make is public domain / commons. - Industry can take it, fix it, commercialize it—we don’t care. - Our value is the shared pool of imperfect-but-useful knowledge. ## 6. Culture - Celebrate imperfection. - Share openly, document clearly, fail loudly. - The only hard rule: **don’t ship flawless.**
