Read through it all, looks good. After release I want to revise the ethos bit by bit too really capture the concept of sustainability. How everything fits together to create a sustainable socio-technical system (people, practices, and technology). |

If we plan to add community moderation guidelines, I think they should also include instructions on how to manage GitHub - issues, PRs, labels and so on. Code reviews and associated things. Not only attitude/tone recommendations, but also a literal checklist of things to watch for, how to meaningfully express concerns about submitted code and so on. This idea is based on the discussion from the discussion in
|
I agree that these are extremely valuable things, though they are also situation specific and better suited in more specific docs rather than a general one like this. So we should have those docs, but I don't think we can cram it all into one. |

Yes, I moderation guidelines are of course separate from code of conduct |

Mostly a nit, I don't like how "me" is used here, it doesn't feel right, especially when we were using "we" earlier.

I almost suggested the same change, but the meaning is subtlety different or at least slightly more explicit of written as is.
The current style ensures that it's taken to mean as no "shield" (defense against restriction of action) is granted by way of contribution.
While if someone that has contributed could be entitled to a "sword" (offense ability to restrict others behavior).
The suggested change reads as too strong a shield.

While I can't remember the intention behind writing this as it is, I do agree with Saem's interpretation. I prefer it this way or rephrased as:
"Contribution does not entitle we, nor anyone else, to act in any way that is not conducive to making this a productive and enjoyable environment"

It's somewhat ironic that in an attempt to draw a more diverse developer base, code of conduct moderation, if improperly conducted, could potentially alienate users from other countries who don't have the same social conditioning as those in North America [or other Western cultures]."*[^2] | ||

| 1. The Code of Conduct can be enforced through a range of passive and active means. We recommend minimal use for first offenders but allow rapid escalation if required (depending on the severity of the breach). |

As according to the reasonable person principle; we have not yet discussed hierarchy of rule enforcement so I cannot determine this without input from everyone.

I'm ok with it, gives room to grow.
