The Scuttlebutt ecosystem is comprised of informal alliances, projects and organisations. Our mission is to support a diverse and vibrant ecosystem by:

• Supporting alignment and coordination among actors
• Identifying emergent problems and tensions
• Facilitating communication and dispute resolution
• Hosting (or pointing to) existing specifications
• Guiding the production of new specifications
• Producing (or pointing to) comparative documentation
• Mapping the ecosystem

1. Guarding and enhancing the commons

(what projects have to have for us to sponsor it? why? be explicit)

• usability
• security
• aligning parallel work
  • connections
• conflict resolution
• coalescing (standards, patterns)
