+== Project Goals ==
+
+The DECam Legacy Survey of the SDSS Equatorial Sky has been approved to create
+a public optical imaging survey to complement the spectroscopic database of SDSS, SDSS-II,
+SDSS-III/BOSS and the start of SDSS-IV/eBOSS.  We will image 6700 deg^2^ of this footprint
+using the DECam instrument from Fall 2014 through Spring 2017.  The PIs are committed
+to enabling the science cases of collaboration members and to provide the promised
+catalog-level public data releases every 3 months during the period of the survey.
+ 
+== Membership ==
+
+Co-I’s are participants of the Legacy program.  Students and postdocs working directly with
+those co-I’s will be added as participants upon request to the PIs.  Additional requests for membership
+would be expected to bring value to the collaboration, and would be considered on an individual basis.
+Applicants for membership should submit requests describing their proposed project or collaboration
+with an existing project.  The PIs will consult with leads of posted projects to avoid conflicts with those projects.
+ 
+== Data access ==
+
+Raw data for this program is immediately public.  A set of reductions as laid out in the Data Release Plan
+will be made public on approximately 3-month timescales, as promised in the approved NOAO program.
+Members will have access to the contents of these releases prior to those releases, with the only restriction
+that proper citations be included in papers.
+
+Data products, software, analyses, and ancillary data sets produced by any group of participants and not
+included in the Data Release Plan are proprietary to that group, unless and until explicitly shared with other participants.
+ 
+== Publications ==
+
+Technical and scientific publications will be expected to follow the standards of scholarly
+publications.  The standards for AAS journals can be found here:
+   http://iopscience.iop.org/0004-637X/page/Ethics%20policy
+There is no notion of key projects or “builders” with authorship rights.  There is an expectation
+that authorship be extended to participants who have contributed to any paper beyond
+already-published work. Papers should be announced and posted at least 14 days prior to journal submission
+to allow other participants to provide comments and to request authorship when appropriate.
+Posting of conference proceedings is encouraged.
+ 
+== Project announcements ==
+
+We require that technical and scientific projects and papers be announced on the decam-legacy
+e-mail list and posted on the Projects page of the wiki.  The invitation to involve other participants is
+encouraged but not required.  The list of participants in each project will be maintained on this page.
+
+The e-mail list, wiki, and svn repository will provide collaboration tools for projects. Project titles and
+abstracts should be posted early enough to allow for useful contributions from the particpants.
