Re: [RFC] [Draft] Adopt Code of Conduct

Hi! >> We are committed to evaluating contributions within project >> channels without regard to the contributor's experience, >> ability, identity, body, religion, politics, or activity >> outside of project channels. This makes sense. I would not object to adding the positive values stuff, like in examples already cited, too. Except for the part where we talk about experience - this is just not true, when evaluating contribution we would definitely treat code from somebody who spent last 5 years digging into the engine and code from somebody who never contributed before at least somewhat differently (the latter would probably get more scrutiny). That's just a fact. That does not mean we would reject new contributors outright or subject them to different code standards, for example - but promising blanket "without regard" seems promising something we have no capability or intent to deliver. "Ability" is also ambiguous - I *think* I know what you mean there, but it may be also read as a promise that we will evaluate contributions regardless of contributor's ability to actually produce good code/text/whatever it is, which is obviously not true. >> Alternatively, if that's not specific enough, use this single sentence instead: I don't think we need to over-specify, that only leads to more rule lawyering ("I called her X, which is not on the list, so she has no right to feel insulted!"). -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
