2.1. Overview

2.1.1. Requirements

PSI can run on any system Python runs because it is built on top of the Python interpreter. Python 3.5 is required at a minimum.

2.1.2. Contributing

For full disclosure, as there is an Enterprise Edition of PSI, contributors are made aware that any contributions made to the Community Edition may be merged with the Enterprise version. All contributors are therefore asked to acknowledge and agree to this by signing a consent form before being allowed to make contributions to the project.

Note

All funding going towards the Enterprise Edition will ultimately go towards improving and maintaining the Community Edition.

Active members and contributors will be invited to become part of the core development team. Off these members, a select few will have the opportunity to work on the Enterprise Edition if they so choose. These members will be funded for their contributions dependent on the overall success of the project.

All prominent contributors are acknowledged in the CREDITS file found in the project root directory.
