Anyway, I don't say that it cannot happen, I just say that, AFAIK, we never got such concerns in the PHP community.

Sorry - not true. I can name several issues from various PHP related conferences. Although not directly under the "control" of the PHP developers team (and hence not influenced by a proposed CoC), they're certainly part of the community.

Same here. And in the core as well. Even relatively recently. I would love to see more focus on how to make this out in a fork we can all agree on instead of arguing about the rights of one or the other, all parties will have the same rights. Or to argue about whether such bad event can happen or not. It will too late to do it when it will happen again. This alone is a good enough reason to do it, now. About anonymity, it is also critical during the whole investigation and afterwards. The reasons are rather obvious for both parties and have been explained here. A quick but well thought reaction is vital. In case of an harassment, the group can take measure and "officially" request to stop any private contact with the victim. Whether the accused person is guilty or not is not relevant at this stage. It will help to protect both parties. I am also convinced that we need one now more than ever before. Not because we have more issues (or less) but because we are in a position now to actually setup such CoC in a good way. And we are also the leading web programming language. We must ensure that we act accordingly. I also trust us to have the structure to manage such situations in a fair manner. Cheers, Pierre

Who would like to be connected with the Drupal people in this space, if I can get their time? I figure Anthony and Stas are good to include there (proposer and someone with well-reasoned concerned). One or two more people? -- --Larry Garfield
