[diversity] Use inclusive language #1079

Closed Simran-B closed 3 months ago

Simran-B commented 4 years ago

As discussed in the TSC meeting on 2020-07-27 and the ASWF #diversity Slack channel, the term "sanity check" should be avoided as it is considered ableist language. I checked the OCIO source code for other terms, but there are just a few ones that should potentially be substituted.

  1. sanity check: validate (perform check), smoke test, validity / plausibility / soundness check
  2. sane, insane, sanity: valid, invalid, validity (syntactic?)
  3. dumb: basic? (draft implementation)
  4. lame-ass: boring, unpleasant, crude? (support code)
  5. whitelist: approved list, allow-list (CLA)
  6. master: main? (Git branch)

1 and 2 are urgent to be renamed in time for v2, as they are used in a public interface. 3, 4 and 5 are trivial to replace. 6 would be a huge task... related: https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/63

I also found the terms stupid, crazy and crippled in third-party code (comments/test data), but changing that seems out of scope.

Hi @Simran-B, Can we close the issue?

Simran-B commented 3 years ago

Yes and no... it is kind of a reminder for me to also check other ASWF projects and add something about inclusive language to the documentation.

hodoulp commented 3 years ago

If you want to keep track of other ASWF projects, the best would be to create a defect in their repo. On the other hand having a disclaimer in the documentation is a great idea.

@Simran-B , we have a volunteer for this issue. I know a lot of this has already been implemented. Please let us know if there is anything left to do or else close the issue. Thx!
