In the now-common interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, there are certian long-held standards of human decency that are routine boilerplate for contributors and maintainers, in participation with this and many projects in a way that makes for a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body constraints, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, and other so-called protected classes.
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
- Using welcoming and inclusive language
- Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
- Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
- Focusing on what is best for the community
- Showing empathy towards other community members
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
- Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, personal or political attacks, and other unwelcome attention or advances.
- The above, whether public or private.
- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission.
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate or distracting from the focus of a professional setting.
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the project team at standards@newalexandria.org. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Details of specific enforcement and mediation policies may be posted separately.
Project maintainers who do not follow or support the mediation of the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent consequences as determined by other members of the project's leadership.
