This repository holds templates and guidelines to support the maintenance of libraries in the Samvera Github organization.

README.md - The elements in this template should be in every repository. Additional elements may be added.

SUPPORT.md - Copy this and replace {{library}} with the repository name. This is linked from the README and has information on how to create an issue, email the list, and connect to Slack.

CONTRIBUTING.md - Contribution guidelines for Samvera projects. Should be included. Minimal customization should be necessary.

CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md - Should be included verbatim in every Samvera repository. If this is updated, it needs to be distributed to all Samvera organization repositories.

LICENSE - Should be included in every Samvera repository. The copyright statements may change as appropriate. This template was taken from guidelines found on the wiki.

MAILMAP - A master template for git mailmap. This template is something to push to all samvera repositories. The goal in applying a common mailmap is to help understand contributions as people move and change roles/functions/laptops.

There exist rake tasks that can be used to propogate some of these templates.
