Trust levels

@burrrata thanks for finding that link, I had forgotten that post existed in such a clear form.

@wchargin, I really appreciate your writing this document; in my mind it’s the new “canonical reference” for trust levels. I think the expression is a bit clearer than in @mzargham’s original trust levels post, and I think re-ordering it (so that numerically higher trust levels == more trust) is a valuable bit of interpretive labor.

I’ve already found this post useful as I’m now linking to it from the SourceCred Beta and Pilot Partnerships post (pilot partners should be TL3 or TL2).

@wchargin, two asks:

  • Please add a “thanks to @mzargham for the [trust levels concept]” or similar to the root post, so that we properly flow cred.
  • Consider making the post a wiki so that others can help keep it updated over time.
