- SCIP (pronounced 'skip') is a language-agnostic protocol for indexing source code, introduced in June 2022.
- SCIP powers essential code navigation features like Go to definition and Find references in Sourcegraph.
- SCIP is transitioning from a Sourcegraph-owned project to an independent one with an open governance structure.
- A Core Steering Committee (CSC) will guide SCIP's future development, with members from Uber, Meta, and Sourcegraph.
- The governance model includes a public SCIP Enhancement Proposals (SEP) process for protocol changes.
- The Core Steering Committee (CSC) makes strategic decisions and ensures SCIP’s long-term health.
- Founding members of the CSC include Catherine Gasnier (Meta), Jamy Timmermans (Uber), and Michal Kielbowicz (Sourcegraph).
- The community is invited to participate by exploring governance rules, proposing ideas, and joining discussions on Discord.
