All, The PMC would like to move forward towards establishing an Apache CouchDB Developer Code of Conduct (CoC for short). To make that happen, we need your help.
We do not at this time have a specific text proposal. We'd like to open that up to contributions from the developer community. Examples of CoCs from other projects that you feel are well-crafted would be most welcome. For my contribution: the long-standing Debian project has just voted in their Code of Conduct. I encourage you to review the text of this CoC at http://www.debian.org/vote/2014/vote_002 as I think it might be a good starting place for our efforts. Many of the points (such as having discussion on development direction should be made in public) are directly parallel to tenants upheld by the ASF and CouchDB itself. -Joan
