# Style Team Membership ### Member Characteristics - Not really a membership characteristic, but it's important for T-style to have representation from other parts of the rust org and ecosystem. - Right now we have a lang team-affiliated person, libs-affiliated, compiler-affiliated, and rustfmt. That should probably be preserved (best effort?) - General familiarity with Rust (of course not 100%, but needs to be familiar with general constructs in the language, how they interact, etc) - Relevant to our discussion about let-else formatting, knowing what a diverging expression is, how it tends to be used, etc. inform how we actually decide to format syntax. - FIXME: How do we measure this? - General interest in Rust style in general -- not trying to push along any specific agenda item then leave :laughing: - An effective collaborator, proven track record of being able to contribute to a shared resource and account for other's needs, navigate conflict and emotional challenges. - Familiarity with the rust project, it's structure and culture, and expectations upon maintainers - TODO: What are the expectations on maintainers? - Consent to the existing principles and aims of the style team: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/doc/style-guide/src/principles.md and https://github.com/rust-lang/style-team/blob/style-policy/charter.md - Ability to be pragmatic over dogmatic, even when facing style/formatting aspect one feels particularly strongly about - Willingness to seek out/receive new information and change one's opinions - Ability to navigate charged conversations and evocative commentary (people can get illogical and intense when it comes to their code style, and may be more inclined to drop logic/reason and treat subjective as objective on the topics under the purview of t-style) - Bandwidth and interest in tracking changes to the language and syntax - Interest in the aesthetic aspects of how Rust code will be authored and consumed by humans - Time, energy, and willingness to participate in team activities - Willingngess to invest time in non-coding activities ### Next Steps
