Awesome, looks like a great project and we'd be happy to add it! Just one request, would you mind adding a code of conduct?

buhtz commented 5 months ago

We are a team and currently I can not speak for the project but just for me. I never understood the reaons for a coc. Prove me wrong. I am willing to learn.

We are humans. We have laws. People who don't want to be polite and ignoring the law will always ignore a coc.

I don't understand how a coc can help with improving a project.

seanmarcia commented 5 months ago

I completely understand that bad actors will ignore a CoC. It does signal that the maintainers care about contributors and do not tolerate abusive or unkind behaviour.

Not having a CoC do signal that we don't care?

seanmarcia commented 5 months ago

Having a CoC is a signal that you do care about how your contributors are treated. Not having a CoC doesn't signal anything good or bad.

buhtz commented 5 months ago

Not having a CoC doesn't signal anything good or bad.

Nice to know. Because I see no need to "send such a signal" because it is implicit and obvious that I do care about contributors. I do think of the best of all human beings until they proof me the opposite.

Got it and I understand. Let me know if you decide to add a code of conduct and we'll get your project added!
