Framework Mergers

Their responsibility is to ensure a consistent, secure and stable API throughout all maintained branches of TYPO3 and its components. All members of this group are required to participate actively in helping other contributors to build a consistent API across the source code and documentation. All members ensure the code quality is increased and the feature set defined by the TYPO3 Project Leader is implemented properly. They are responsible for all parts of TYPO3 Core. It is required that all members know state-of-the-art technical functionality (currently PHP8, JavaScript/TypeScript, SCSS/CSS and HTML5).

Regular communication with a maximum response time of 48 hours within the framework merger group is required. In addition, it is necessary that framework mergers coordinate development in a monthly meeting call. A total of 8 (eight) framework mergers (excluding TYPO3 Project Leader and Product Team, which overrule changes by framework mergers) is planned to keep communication tight and effective.

All framework mergers have full responsibility for every line of code or documentation within TYPO3 Core or their components, and are required to maintain actively on solving existing bugs or reviewing and improving existing changes.
