## Project adoption guidelines

The `graphql` GitHub organization is the home for projects that hold a unique role in the ecosystem: specifications, test suites, reference implementations, documentation sites, etc.

Except for `graphql-js` as a reference implementation, GraphQL implementations in different languages are encouraged to stay in separate organizations. This helps fostering ecosystem diversity.

General guidelines:

* The project should be using an open source license.
* The project should be actively maintained.
* The project should hold a unique role in the ecosystem.

To request adding a new project, please open [an issue in the `graphql-wg`](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-wg/issues/new) repository. Project adoption is [decided by the TSC](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-wg/blob/main/GraphQL-TSC.md#decision-making-authority).

If you want to get involved in GraphQL, add yourself to the meeting agenda for one of our [working groups or implementations](./project-meetings/#quick-guide-how-to-join), sign the document if you haven't already, and show up! Or, if you prefer, just open a PR against our projects as this will also initiate the spec membership signature process.

We welcome your participation!
