I think it would be good for the project to adopt a Code of Conduct that outlines the behaviour expected from people involved in the project (issue makers, bug triagers, developers, community organizers, etc.).

Personally I like the GNOME Code of Conduct for its article on "safety vs comfort". I think many options are available to us though.

I believe it's particularly important considering the kinds of communities that are likely to be hosted using Sublinks and the behaviour many of us have seen in another project that I believe we do not want to replicate here.

@jgrim has created a Code of Conduct. It lives at http://sublinks.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

Please let us know if you have any feedback on it!

Some feedback:

  1. I'm not sure Project maintainers are necessarily the best people to deal with such cases - especially when project maintainers often mean people writing code rather than people working in other ways.
  2. I think a clause around protecting marginalized voices over privileged people's comfort would be good.
  3. The email that complaints are supposed to be sent to is currently empty.
