Hi, Thanks for the responses so far.

However, I'm not aware that needing to have a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file is a "rule" - it was never voted on, never announced; it was just something a few developers did, and now are apparently threatening anyone who undoes their handiwork. > Your > personal interactions related to these extensions are kinda gray area, I don't see that - the CoC makes it pretty clear that it applies only in a pretty finite set of spaces. > That being said, which parts of the CoC do you have a problem with? I never said I had a problem with the CoC; I do have various thoughts about it, but I don't want to include them in this thread, because I don't want to distract from the main issues.

That's true, but to be clear, I was talking about someone emailing a patch text file to me. > So, the question I would put to you or anyone asking "Why do I have to > have this here?" would be, "Does having the Code of Conduct make my > work in this space easier and more productive?" Actually, that's not my question - my question is, *do* I have to have this here? I haven't yet gotten a clear answer on this, except from the crowd who put that file in in the first place. Max seems to agree that I don't, although I'm not 100% sure. Let me state again that I really don't want to talk about the relative merits of the Code of Conduct. I have a bunch of thoughts about it, which I'm happy to share with anyone, but not on this thread. Please just assume for the sake of this discussion that (a) I'm willing to abide by the rules of the Code of Conduct, and (b) I don't want the CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file in my extensions. -Yaron _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
