The affiliation review is based on the best-practice guidelines; the tiered, differentiated recommendations are a separate exercise. Move the "Software Tiers and Differentiated Recommendations" section of projects/guidelines.md verbatim to projects/software-tiers.md (headings promoted one level, and its reference to the best-practice section turned into a link), leaving a pointer in its place.

Remove the hedging that was needed while the review was differential: affiliated projects adhere to the best-practice guidelines, the General Guidelines are required and the language-specific ones recommended. State on the new tiers page that affiliation requires the best-practice guidelines only, and that a differential review against a tier can be requested after discussion with the Steering Group.

Minor fix from the previous page

Looks good and makes the frontpage much leaner, which was needed. As a minor fix from the previous version, I kept the order consistent across tier enumeration and explanation. |
The host serves browsers (HTTP 200) but returns 403 to the GitHub Actions runner, so the pre-existing link in projects/guidelines.md fails the check whenever that page is modified. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
As written in the previous comment, this looks good. Thanks for this!

Hi @paullaycock, following up from our little exchange - this looks great and is a very much welcome improvement/clarification IMO 👍. Let's what for 3-4 approvals and we merge. Thank you very much. |

Description
The affiliation review is based on the best-practice guidelines; the tiered,
differentiated recommendations are a separate exercise that needs more effort
and dedicated reviewers. This PR:
projects/guidelines.html verbatim to a new page, projects/software-tiers.html,
leaving a pointer (first commit, text move only);
differential: affiliated projects adhere to the best-practice guidelines, the
General Guidelines are required, the language-specific ones recommended
(second commit);
requested after discussion with the Steering Group.
Wording of the tier recommendations themselves, the "target Tier" mention on
the affiliated page and the Google review template are left for a follow-up.
AI use: the text moves and build checks were done with Claude Code under my
direction; all wording was reviewed and partly written by me.
