Project Proposal Process
summary
OpenWallet Foundation accepts project proposals via a short form and a Technical Advisory Council presentation, with projects starting as Labs (experimental code, half-hour submission, reviewed annually, no CI/CD or audits) moving to Growth (aim to reach impact within two years) and then to Impact (diverse maintainers, resilient if one company leaves), or to Emeritus when finished; community onboarding happens on Discord, GitHub, and architecture meetings.
