Implementation support

Peer-to-peer community support is offered for all implementations, however such support should always be overseen by an "implementation expert" (which is currently the same as a maintainer).

Documentation can be misinterpreted, and previous implementations have had to do expensive refactors to fix issues that could have been caught earlier on in delivery.

There is also a risk that even maintainers have a different understanding of documentation, and hence collaboration between maintainers is essential to check for a consensus in understanding on anything that is not clear. As a rule: do not make assumptions; instead always check with the group, discuss and then clarify the documentation with the result.

All implementations must pass OpenActive Test Suite (either in validation-only mode, for open data, or the full test suite, for Open Booking). Validation-only mode is run in CI on the data-catalog https://github.com/openactive/data-catalogs
