1. Introduction
OSMORA Amelioration Proposals (OAPs) are structured documents that
serve to drive changes imposed by OSMORA by describing their
fundamentals while allowing others to amend/revise them.
1.1. Purpose
The goal of having OAPs is to provide an organized means of proposing
and improving ideas that contribute to the betterment of society and
technology. These proposals can range from technical improvements to
societal reforms, and they are open to discussion and collaboration
for those who have understood and commited to the OSMORA oath.
1.2. Audience
OAPs are intended for those who are commited to the OSMORA oath.
These proposals must only be considered offical and bidning when they
are approved by a number of OSMORA members and a single OSR (OSMORA
Standards Reviewer).
