Governance
How the project is run, so that contributors know what to expect before they spend effort.
Maintainers
Section titled “Maintainers”Open MVIS is maintained by the Robot Perception and Navigation Group (RPNG) at the University of Delaware. Current maintainers are listed on Contributors.
Review process
Section titled “Review process”| Submission | Reviewed for | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| Leaderboard result | Schema validity, plausible values, complete provenance | to be set |
| Dataset | Format, dataset card, licence, usability | to be set |
| Documentation | Accuracy, page-type fit (see below) | to be set |
| Code | Correctness, tests, no regression | to be set |
CI validates what it can automatically — schema, bounds, build. A maintainer reviews what it cannot.
Verified results
Section titled “Verified results”A submitted result is reported. A result a maintainer has re-run from the submitter’s configuration and data is verified, and carries a badge on the leaderboard. Verification depends on the data being available and the run being tractable, so it is offered where possible rather than required.
The distinction is kept visible on purpose: a leaderboard where reported and reproduced numbers are indistinguishable is a leaderboard nobody should trust.
Documentation rule
Section titled “Documentation rule”Pages on this site declare a pageType and are held to it:
| Type | Contains | Does not contain |
|---|---|---|
tutorial | One ordered happy path | Alternatives, options, theory |
guide | Task-oriented steps | Derivations — link to a concept |
concept | Explanation, maths, figures | Commands — link to a guide |
reference | Exhaustive, anchor-per-entry | Narrative |
example | A real run with validation | Concepts introduced for the first time |
A guide that starts explaining means a concept page is missing; a concept page that starts instructing means a guide is missing. In both cases the fix is to split, not to blend. Documentation pull requests are reviewed against this.
Conduct
Section titled “Conduct”Contributors are expected to be civil and to assume good faith. Harassment, personal attacks, and deliberate bad-faith submissions are not tolerated. Maintainers may reject submissions and restrict participation. Report problems to the maintainer contacts on Contributors.
Credit
Section titled “Credit”- Leaderboard entries are attributed to their submitter.
- Datasets get a DOI, a citation, and named credit.
- Substantial contributions to a dataset or benchmark release are recognised with co-authorship on the corresponding paper.
Licence
Section titled “Licence”The toolbox and the site are open source — see License. Contributions are accepted under the same licence.
