The Go one looks pretty great to me. It might not be such a bad idea if we were to adopt it almost verbatim. I also don't think we need to write anything new. Other people have done that legwork for us, we are wasting our time if we try to create something new. PHP is not radically different from other open-source projects. Go's one is not excessively long, gets to the point, and is reasonable. It appears to cover everything we need: positive values, what is unacceptable, a statement of why moderation is needed, and how to report issue and how it will be handled.

The structure of the Go CoC is good.... starting with explaining why have one, and with the positive values emphasised before it gets into the what is unwelcome behaviour and what to do about it.... the emphasis is still on mediation, but it looks more positive from an outsiders perspective. While the wording could be a bit different in places, the overall structure promotes the benefits and I'd like to see something similar for PHP. As one of those outsiders looking in, and occasionally considering contributing more, seeing something like that would make me feel a lot more comfortable about being more proactive -- Mark Baker _________ |. \ \-3 |_J_/ PHP | || | __ | || |m| |m| I LOVE PHP
