+# Policy for Adding a New Port |
+ |
+Since every new port for Chromium has a maintenance cost, here are some guidelines for when the project will accept a new port. |
+ |
+## Expectations |
+ |
+* Ports should represent a significant ongoing investment to established platforms, rather than hobby or experimental code. |
+* These will not have bots on Google-run waterfalls (even FYI). |
+* Chromium engineers are not expected to maintain them. |
+* As much as possible, try to use existing branches/ifdefs. |
+* While changes in src/base are unavoidable, higher level directories shouldnt have to change. i.e. existing porting APIs should be used. We would not accept new rendering pipelines as an example. |
+* Send an email to [src/OWNERS](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/ENG_REVIEW_OWNERS) for approval. |
