"The project tries to be as non-hierarchical as possible. Every contributor must abide by a well defined set of rules, no matter which role they take. For decisions we strive to reach near-unanimous consensus ... If possible, conflicts should be avoided or, otherwise, resolved. Even if the project is non-hierarchical, it is possible to define specific roles within it. Roles do not really give additional power but additional responsibilities."
