finish norms document #90

The 2019 Transparency Report had a very good idea that was never realized:

The community needs more specifically articulated and codified values. In addition to the Code of Conduct, this would provide a lens through which the community understands and models acceptable behavior.

A "values.md" document, something constructive and idealistic, would be a welcome addition to this repository though it also would require gathering quite a bit of community input.

Oh wow how did I not know about this? We already have a norms document. But it has a "Big TBD" on it and definitely needs more work.

There is relevant conversation/history under #66 for this issue. In terms of a starting point, we have a few great resources:

the "how to code4lib" discussion
the discussion notes from the "how to code4lib" breakout session
WriteTheDocs community principles in their CoC
WriteTheDocs Slack guidelines

I'll add more examples here as they come to my attention. I think the "how to Code4Lib' documents are a wonderful starting point and the norms document could borrow from them heavily.
