Areas and teams
===============
Godot is organized into areas, most of which has a designated team working on them.
This page lists these areas and explains their goals and how they're organized.
For each team or area there is a list of links and resources associated with them:
* **Communication**: links to the `RocketChat <https://chat.godotengine.org/>`__ channels for the team,
joining this channel is the best way get involved with a team.
* **GitHub reviews**: opens a GitHub search for PRs that have a review request for the team.
Note that this *doesnt* show PRs that have already been reviewed by that team,
any review comments at all, from any member of a specific team, will remove the request, so this is not always helpful.
* **GitHub labels**: lists any labels relevant to the team, and links to issues and PRs tagged with those tags.
For more information about the different GitHub labels, please see the :ref:`doc_bug_triage_guidelines`.
Note that some GitHub labels arent neatly covered by trackers.
* **Triage project**: links to the :ref:`team triage project <doc_triage_projects>` for the team. You are welcome to
help the team out by implementing or reviewing something from this list.
* **Maintainers**: lists the members of each team. The area maintainers take ownership of the area, and will steer its
development by creating and reviewing pull requests and improvement proposals. Maintainers are listed alphabetically.
Maintainers written as ⭐ **Member** (with a star and in bold) are team leads.
You can find information about the teams' `current priorities <https://godotengine.org/priorities/>`__ on the Godot website.
.. As a guideline, a team is anything that:
- People refer to as a team.
- An area that has multiple facets, like a RocketChat channel and a GitHub team.
.. Regarding maintainers:
- Generally, the maintainers should correspond to the respective GitHub teams.
- "Members" are maintainers here, and "Maintainers" are team leads.
- Before adding a maintainer, ask them if they want to be mentioned here.
- In particular, ask them how they'd like to be referred to.
- If you are a maintainer, you can also open a PR to add yourself, if you are on the respective GitHub team.
