• Rule 1: why is it so important to have a CoC?
• Rule 2: I find this section a little hard to read — fit doesn’t come across as a simple rule. Maybe some thesis statements to encase the historical references? Maybe move the last paragraph to the top, tweak a bit as an opener and start there?
• Rule 3: This isn’t just about making it clear, this is about creating clear paths to connect and engage that are presented to newcomers — rolling out the red carpet, if you will. It’s easy to make it “clear” by putting a big sign out that says “Newcomers welcome!” But that’s not what you’re saying.
• Rules 4-5 are related to 3 and could be connected better.
• Omg rule 6
• Rule 7: have you considered using the word “care” in place of “caution”?
• Rule 8 is kind of related to rule 6
• Rule 9 belongs with 3-5 in the managing-newcomers guidelines
• Rule 10 for some reason I want there to be a mention of the time it takes to do this work here and the importance of taking it/creating it. “Gratitude and recognition are the most powerful tools available for community builders and maintainers” is a hugely important point that maybe deserves a little more elaboration or emphasis.
