We firmly believe that under the existing circumstances this is the only way that allows the project to remain free, open-source and community-based. While being a direct successor to Nexuiz functionality-wise, the Xonotic[link] project is a rethink and reorganization of how a community creates an open source video game and organizes the services around it. It will be run by a small team of volunteers with no one in total control. All significant decisions will be made by an elected body of six people.
