Maintainer Guide

Maintainers keep OpenLib useful, accurate, and safe.

Responsibilities #

• Review new app submissions.
• Merge high-quality edit requests.
• Moderate spam, unsafe content, and abuse reports.
• Keep docs accurate.
• Preserve a consistent taxonomy.
• Watch for stale or deprecated projects.

Review decisions #

Documentation maintenance #

Documentation is maintained locally as Markdown under docs/content/. Create, edit, rename, move, and delete docs pages by changing those Markdown files, then run the docs generator before deployment.

Publishing checklist #

1. Update or add Markdown files in docs/content/.
2. Run npm run docs:build.
3. Confirm /docs/ pages render locally.
4. Run npm run seo:sitemap and confirm docs URLs are included.
5. Submit the change for review.

Incident response #

For unsafe listings, prioritize user safety: unpublish or mark deprecated first, then document the reason and follow up with project maintainers if needed.
