### How things get done in the Node.js project

#### Goal

Help people understand that no people are paid to answer their issues or
implement their pull requests. Things get done based on what volunteers work on
and the best way to get something fixed/changed is to submit a Pull request.

Some of the things to highlight include:

* Nobody is paid specifically to answer issues or implement features.
* No company owns/supports Node.js. Most contributions are from individuals
as opposed to organizations.
* The governance of the project is specifically designed to prevent one or
a small number of companies from dominating the project.
* Decisions are made by the active collaborators, there is no single person
who makes a decision for the project on their own. This can slow down
decision making but most often results in better outcomes.
* The project is open and receptive to contributions. If you need something PR
in a fix or feature.
* Maintainers are people just like you, with many priorities and and goals. We
all have the same goal of moving the Node.js project forward but at the same
time we all have other responsibilities that affect how much time we have
available to do so.
* People are volunteering their time to review your PRs and answer questions in
the issues you open. Be mindfull of your asks for their time and acknowledge
the gift of their time.
* While volunteers work to do the right thing for the community, the project
does not owe anybody anything and does not tolerate abusive or
demanding language in issues, discussionis or PRs. A respectful diaglog will
maximize the chances of the outcome you desire.
* If you depend on timely support or an SLA, contract with a company that provides
paid support and will prioritize your issues.
