Hello!
Things have quieted down around the Code of Conduct and Contributor
Guidelines process, but I have not been sitting still. In the last week,
the following things happened:
- I had a call with the Drupal Community Working Group - as suggested by
Larry Garfield. Stanislav was on the call as well.
Take aways:
- Texts should be void from ambiguity.
- Although their CWG dealt with plenty of cases, no punitive action
has occured as parties would often step back themselves. In most
cases, a gently reminder was all that was necessary.
- We should be reluctant to limit the scope of the Code of Conduct and
Contributor Guidelines.
- A Code of Conduct without *any* 'teeth' would not be beneficial.
- We should start with suggesting/nominating people for the Mediation
Team *before* deciding on the procedures and guidelines that
they should mediate around. The underlaying reason is that if the
team is known upfront, there ought to be more understanding for the
general developer community. Or in other words, there should be no
reason that "I would only put my friends on it".
I do however have a few people in mind that I will reach out to
privately, to see whether they are interested. If you have any
suggestions for people that you consider reliable, considerate, and
empathic, please reach out to them yourself, or let me know and I
will.
- The RFC text has seen a few updates as well.
- @jessamynwest improved some of the text for "encouraged behaviour"
https://github.com/derickr/php-community-health/commit/134670974b000483c2a179a02fc05a6d2de85d97
- @hnrysmth imported some new phrases from the Contributor Covenant
1.4 over
https://github.com/derickr/php-community-health/commit/8ca9fe70538b036a938acbafa5f5f27f91228602
- @connerbw added a more general blurb about PHP and the commitment of
the PHP team to be inclusive
https://github.com/derickr/php-community-health/commit/e6c33f4b81975f2b2f27919e37c585322f829a1c
- I combined the three bits of text around mailinglist posting
guidelines into the Contributor Guidelines
https://github.com/derickr/php-community-health/commit/7c55d1dd407524cdab593b885e6b3101bf590769
I feel that the "Contributor Guidelines" are now in a reasonable shape
to do a quick poll to gauge acceptability. As this is not a formal RFC
vote, it's simply done through an online poll:
http://twtpoll.com/y6hs4ndsfiki485
Voting is non-binding, and will end at Friday February 12th, at noon
UTC.
Feel free to reply here with suggestions, comments, etc.
cheers,
Derick
