One thing that individual projects can do is affirm the ASF Code of Conduct on their websites. http://couchdb.apache.org/#contribute https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct I'd suggest that anybody who feels like scratching this itch JFDI, using the CouchDB language as a template. Don't ask permission first and don't sweat the wording, just update the website -- because the Code of Conduct already applies across all Apache projects. If people feel like iterating on the wording later, that's fine -- but get something up there to start with. And then, once it's up, it would be great to hear back on this list about it. :) Marvin Humphrey
