-## Governance Compensation
-
-Each member of the community elected TOC will be granted $500 each month as compensation for their work.
-
-Furthermore, any community release manager for a specific release or LTS will be compensated $500 for the delivery of said release.
-
-These funds will come from community sources like the OpenCollective rather than directly from the company.
-Only non-company members are eligible for this compensation, and if a member of the community TOC takes the responsibility of release manager, they would only be compensated for their TOC duties.
-Gitea Ltd employees are not eligible to receive any funds from the OpenCollective unless it is reimbursement for a purchase made for the Gitea project itself.
-
-## TOC & Working groups
-
-With Gitea covering many projects outside of the main repository, several groups will be created to help focus on specific areas instead of requiring maintainers to be a jack-of-all-trades. Maintainers are of course more than welcome to be part of multiple groups should they wish to contribute in multiple places.
-
-The currently proposed groups are:
-
-- **Core Group**: maintain the primary Gitea repository
-- **Integration Group**: maintain the Gitea ecosystem's related tools, including go-sdk/tea/changelog/bots etc.
-- **Documentation Group**: maintain related documents and repositories
-- **Translation Group**: coordinate with translators and maintain translations
-- **Security Group**: managed by TOC directly, members are decided by TOC, maintains security patches/responsible for security items
-
-## Roadmap
-
-Each year a roadmap will be discussed with the entire Gitea maintainers team, and feedback will be solicited from various stakeholders.
-TOC members need to review the roadmap every year and work together on the direction of the project.
-
-When a vote is required for a proposal or other change, the vote of community elected TOC members count slightly more than the vote of company elected TOC members. With this approach, we both avoid ties and ensure that changes align with the mission statement and community opinion.
-
-You can visit our roadmap on the wiki.
-
-## Versions
-
-Gitea has the `main` branch as a tip branch and has version branches
-such as `release/v1.19`. `release/v1.19` is a release branch and we will
-tag `v1.19.0` for binary download. If `v1.19.0` has bugs, we will accept
-pull requests on the `release/v1.19` branch and publish a `v1.19.1` tag,
-after bringing the bug fix also to the main branch.
-
-Since the `main` branch is a tip version, if you wish to use Gitea
-in production, please download the latest release tag version. All the
-branches will be protected via GitHub, all the PRs to every branch must
-be reviewed by two maintainers and must pass the automatic tests.
-
-## Releasing Gitea
-
-- Let $vmaj, $vmin and $vpat be Major, Minor and Patch version numbers, $vpat should be rc1, rc2, 0, 1, ...... $vmaj.$vmin will be kept the same as milestones on github or gitea in future.
-- Before releasing, confirm all the version's milestone issues or PRs has been resolved. Then discuss the release on Discord channel #maintainers and get agreed with almost all the owners and mergers. Or you can declare the version and if nobody against in about serval hours.
-- If this is a big version first you have to create PR for changelog on branch `main` with PRs with label `changelog` and after it has been merged do following steps:
- - Create `-dev` tag as `git tag -s -F release.notes v$vmaj.$vmin.0-dev` and push the tag as `git push origin v$vmaj.$vmin.0-dev`.
- - When CI has finished building tag then you have to create a new branch named `release/v$vmaj.$vmin`
-- If it is bugfix version create PR for changelog on branch `release/v$vmaj.$vmin` and wait till it is reviewed and merged.
-- Add a tag as `git tag -s -F release.notes v$vmaj.$vmin.$`, release.notes file could be a temporary file to only include the changelog this version which you added to `CHANGELOG.md`.
-- And then push the tag as `git push origin v$vmaj.$vmin.$`. Drone CI will automatically create a release and upload all the compiled binary. (But currently it doesn't add the release notes automatically. Maybe we should fix that.)
-- If needed send a frontport PR for the changelog to branch `main` and update the version in `docs/config.yaml` to refer to the new version.
-- Send PR to [blog repository](https://gitea.com/gitea/blog) announcing the release.
-- Verify all release assets were correctly published through CI on dl.gitea.com and GitHub releases. Once ACKed:
- - bump the version of https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/version.json
- - merge the blog post PR
- - announce the release in discord `#announcements`

-## Purpose
-
-The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most
-painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service.
-
-As Gitea is written in Go, it works across **all** the platforms and
-architectures that are supported by Go, including Linux, macOS, and
-Windows on x86, amd64, ARM and PowerPC architectures.
-You can try it out using [the online demo](https://try.gitea.io/).
-This project has been
-[forked](https://blog.gitea.com/welcome-to-gitea/) from
-[Gogs](https://gogs.io) since November of 2016, but a lot has changed.
-
-## Building
-
-From the root of the source tree, run:
-
- TAGS="bindata" make build
-
-or if SQLite support is required:
-
- TAGS="bindata sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify" make build
-
-The `build` target is split into two sub-targets:
-
-- `make backend` which requires [Go Stable](https://go.dev/dl/), required version is defined in [go.mod](/go.mod).
-- `make frontend` which requires [Node.js LTS](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) or greater and Internet connectivity to download npm dependencies.
-
-When building from the official source tarballs which include pre-built frontend files, the `frontend` target will not be triggered, making it possible to build without Node.js and Internet connectivity.
-
-Parallelism (`make -j `) is not supported.
-
-More info: https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-source/
-
-## Using
-
- ./gitea web
-
-NOTE: If you're interested in using our APIs, we have experimental
-support with [documentation](https://try.gitea.io/api/swagger).
-
-## Contributing
-
-Expected workflow is: Fork -> Patch -> Push -> Pull Request
-
-NOTES:
-
-1. **YOU MUST READ THE [CONTRIBUTORS GUIDE](CONTRIBUTING.md) BEFORE STARTING TO WORK ON A PULL REQUEST.**
-2. If you have found a vulnerability in the project, please write privately to **security@gitea.io**. Thanks!
-
-## Translating
-
-Translations are done through Crowdin. If you want to translate to a new language ask one of the managers in the Crowdin project to add a new language there.
-
-You can also just create an issue for adding a language or ask on discord on the #translation channel. If you need context or find some translation issues, you can leave a comment on the string or ask on Discord. For general translation questions there is a section in the docs. Currently a bit empty but we hope to fill it as questions pop up.
