Indeed! I’d like to say that this community is the best of any free software project I’ve ever contributed to. Thanks to everyone for keeping it friendly, constructive, and welcoming! > In commit e15fcdd, I added a ‘CODE-OF-CONDUCT’ file taken from > <http://contributor-covenant.org/>, which is essentially a way of > telling the lurkers out there: yes, we do our best to be welcoming and > we’re committed to doing so, so join us! The [email protected] > address it mentions is currently an alias for [email protected] (though I’d > like it to become more than just me!). Thank your for this! The code of conduct itself sounds good; but the sentence in the manual is a little hard to read and a little meandering, in my opinion. > +In the interest of welcoming everyone who thinks this is a great project > +to contribute to---which it is, indeed!---contributors express their > +commitment to providing a warm, friendly, and harassment-free experience > +by agreeing to our ``Contributor Covenant'', adapted from > +@url{http://contributor-covenant.org/}, and which can be found in the > +@file{CODE-OF-CONDUCT} file in the source tree. > + I find it hard to suggest better wording, but I think there’s a lot in this sentence and it might be better to split it up or simplify it a little. Maybe splitting it into two sentences would be clearer? E.g.: > We welcome everyone to contribute to this project. To maintain(?) a > warm, friendly, and harassment-free experience, contributers agree to > our ``Contributor Covenant'' (adapted from > @url{http://contributor-covenant.org/}), which can be found in the > @file{CODE-OF-CONDUCT} file in the source tree. Admittedly it doesn’t have the charms of the original version, but I find the latter somewhat clearer. What do you think? ~~ Ricardo
