Overview

The CII Best Practices project identifies best practices for Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) and implements a badging system to encourage projects to implement those best practices. This site contains criteria text and source code for the badging system ("BadgeApp"), allowing the community to contribute back to the project.

The "BadgeApp" badging system is a simple web application that lets projects self-certify that they meet the criteria and show a badge. The real goal of this project is to encourage projects to apply best practices, and to help users determine which FLOSS projects do so. We believe that FLOSS projects that implement best practices are more likely to produce better and more secure software. See the Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) Best Practices badge website if you want to try to actually get a badge.
