One administrator, @ntnsndr, holds ultimate decision-making power over the project. This is a temporary arrangement while we build trust as a community and adopt a more inclusive structure.
* **Autocracy** The administrator holds ultimate decision-making power in the community.
* **Executive** The administrator is responsible for implementing—or delegating implementation of—policies and other decisions.
* **Lobbying** If participants are not happy with the administrator's leadership, they may voice their concerns or leave the community.
* **Do-ocracy** Those who step forward to do a given task can decide how it should be done, in ongoing consultation with each other and the administrator.
* **Membership** Participation is open to anyone who wants to contribute. The administrator can remove misbehaving participants at will for the sake of the common good.
* **Code of Conduct** Participants are expected to abide by the Contributor Covenant (contributor-covenant.org).

When calling modpol.lua from another file, one may wish to use
different functions than those included by default.
So far, 2 definitions need to be made BEFORE calling modpol.lua, the rest can be overwritten
after calling modpol.lua .
setup:
----------------
Define the global modpol table:
modpol = {}
the following 2 items *may* be defined, if they are not, then defaults will be used:
========================
--------------------
modpol.get_script_dir()
--------------------
type: function
defaults to: a function that can only work in linux
usage: must return the file path of the modpol directory. If modpol is in a
larger directory, such as a mod filesystem, make sure that the path returned is the "base"
modpol folder, i.e. the folder with all the original modpol files.
========================
--------------------
modpol.storage_file_path
--------------------
type: string
defaults to: topdir .. "/storage/storage-local.lua",
where topdir is the directory defined by modpol.storage_file_path
usage: if you wish to use another method of storage than that provided by default,
then you can save a filepath to the storage script here.

Ledger
**************************
a legder is a table of records that holds the history of an org, and of modpol itself.
its structure is a table of legder entries.
Every org has one, starting with the entry recording its creation.
Ledger Entry
**************************
a legder entry is a table with the following properties:
timestamp = nil,
entrytype = nil,
action_msg = '',
the timestamp will hold the output of os.time at the moment the entry was created.
the entrytype is optional; it can hold an identifier of the kind of entry it is (e.g. 'org_init', 'new_user', etc etc.)
action_msg is the record output itself.
Entrytypes
**************************
These are the entrytypes that modpol uses. Each additional module should document whatever entrytypes it adds.
'org_init'
type used when an org is created
'org_purge'
type used when all orgs are purged. -- will only be found in the main modpol ledger.
'org_remove'
type used when removing an individual org
'add_member'
type used when adding a member to an org
'remove_member'
type used when removing a member from an org
Old orgs
**************************
when an org is removed, its ledger is stored in modpol.old_legders = {} Note that multiple ledgers may exist here with the same org name.

== Dev note ===
*note, see doc ledgers for info about org ledgers.
they are *not* just a message in a table anymore... they have a timestamp and more.
===============
Orgs are stored in modpol.orgs by the key 'org_id', a unique integer
Old ledgers of deleted orgs are stored in modpol.old_ledgers,
if preserve records is enabled
An org is a table with the following properties:
{
name = '', -- a unique name...
this is a reference to the key used to store the org table. Changing this does not change the org name.
policies = {}, -- a table to store the org's policies
members = {}, -- a table that contains the member names
or the org, in no particular order (TKTK: maybe change it so that members have a name:properties table?)
ledger = {}, -- a table of ledger entries. See the ledger docs
parent = nil, -- the name of the org that spawned this org.
removing a parent org removes its children
children = {}, -- a table of strings of org names of child orgs
properties = { -- good for modules to store arbitrary info about the org here.
},
}
API functions for orgs
======================
a local variable setting 'preserve_records' determines whether
to store old ledgers when an org is deleted. It is set to true.
It would be possible to extend this to a settings file later.
--==oo888888888888888888888888888888oo==--
Function: modpol.record(org_id, msg, type)
-- Params: strings msg, type, org_id (number)
-- Outputs:
-- "msg" specifies an event and/or status message.
-- "org" specifies an "org" name.
-- "type" -- optional type of legder entry. Could be e.g. 'election_result', 'add_member', etc
-- This function adds the message to a global ledger and, if "org"
-- specifies a valid "org", to an "org"-specific ledger. Both the mem-
-- ory-resident and on-disk copies of the data structures used are up-
-- dated.
-- the type input is used to be able to search ledgers for specific events

Function: modpol.add_org(org_id, members, parent, properties)
-- Params: org)id (number), table members, string parent, table properties
-- Parent must be an existing org, defaults to 'instance', properties
-- are arbitrary properties to initialize the org with
-- Output:
-- This function creates an "org". It returns a boolean success indicator and
-- either an error message starting with "Error:" or a success message.
--
--
-- The string parameter specifies the "org" name.
--
-- The members table should be an integer-indexed array of member
-- names.
-- parent should be nil or a valid existing org name. If nil, defaults to
-- 'instance'
-- properties defaults to an empty table. Use it to initialize the org
-- with arbitrary properties

-- Function: modpol.remove_org(org_id, reason)
-- Params: org_id (number), opt string reason
-- Output:
--
-- This function removes an "org". It returns a boolean
-- success indicator and either an error message
-- starting with "Error:" or a success message. It also recursively
-- removes all child orgs, with 'remove parent org' as reason. If
-- preserve_records is enabled, it logs the removal in the org ledger,
-- and stores the ledger in modpol.old_legders
--
-- The string parameter specifies the "org" name.
--
-- The reason is an optional string to additionally include in the
-- log as reason for removal

Function: modpol.list_orgs()

-- If there are no "orgs", the output is an empty string.

Function: modpol.reset_orgs()
