Community values

The triplescripts.org group was conceived and is organized around a set of values. Refer to Timmermans's essay Perl7 is a fork of values. There are also parallels between the intentionality of the triplescripts.org group's work and Bret Victor's Inventing on Principle.

Besides some of (what should be) the obvious ones (longevity, reproducibility, scrutability), some of this group's other core principles include:
 * end user control
 * low-magic systems
 * simplicity and ease

There are a number of mantras meant to capture the tao of triple scripts.

This page is concerned with describing the principles that triplescripts.org is expected to project into the software itself. For information about the expectations of participants and their conduct on the triplescripts.org wiki and the community at large, refer to the triplescripts.org wiki "About" page.
