There is a grammatical error in the Project Jupyter Code of Conduct. The sentence "Disagreement and healthy discussion of conflicting viewpoints is welcome" contains a subject-verb agreement issue. The subject "Disagreement and healthy discussion" is plural because it encompasses both "disagreement" and "discussion." Therefore, the verb should be plural to match the subject. The correct form would be: "Disagreement and healthy discussion of conflicting viewpoints are welcome."
Proposed Fix:
Replace "is" with "are" in the sentence to correct the subject-verb agreement error.
