| # The Lua Users Foundation Manifesto | ||
|
|
||
| ### This document is still a draft and a work in progress | ||
|
|
||
| The Lua Users Foundation (the Foundation) is an association of individuals in a | ||
| modular umbrella structure consisting of several workgroups, detailed in the Lua | ||
| Users Foundation Constitution. | ||
| The Foundation's formal decision-making process is governed by the Lua Users | ||
| Foundation Constitution, according to the Foundation Goals and Values, towards | ||
| our Mission. | ||
|
|
||
| ## The Mission | ||
|
|
||
| * Support and promote the Lua programming language, its community and | ||
| ecosystems. | ||
|
|
||
| ## The Values | ||
|
|
||
| * The Lua programming language is developed by the Lua Team and defined by the | ||
| Lua Programming Manual. Furthermore: | ||
| * The Lua programming language is small, fast, easy to learn and use. | ||
| * The Lua programming language philosophy is: "Mechanisms instead of | ||
| policies". | ||

| * The Lua Users Foundation values simplicity and accessibility (easy to learn | ||
| and use) in our work. | ||

| implementations, dialects and related languages. | ||
| * The Lua community is inclusive. We welcome and encourage participation by | ||
| everyone. We are committed to foster a diverse community with respect of | ||
| personal characteristics such as, but not limited to, gender identity or | ||
| expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, religion, disability, class, | ||
| geographic location, background and experience. | ||
| * Lua and related technologies should have wider adoption in the world. | ||
| * The Lua Users Foundation is a transparent and not for profit endeavour. | ||
|

I didn't add that because the fact that it is an unmerged PR is already indicating that it is a draft

I suggest to add and merge (after review). Unmerged PRs are less visible (and are harder to create a PR against).
