Hullo Mathieu!

Following the announcement made by RMS regarding the new GNU
Kind
Communication Guidelines (GKCG) [1], I would like to know if the
Guix
developpers in particular its maintainers would agree to adopt
it in
place of the current Code of Conduct (CoC)?
They seem reasonable (a tad reactionary, but hey, it's rms) but
orthogonal to our CoC.
Adopting the GKCG instead of a CoC would help attracting people
(like
me) who agree to use a welcoming and respectful language which
encourages everyone to contribute but are reluctant in
contributing to
any project following a CoC due to its punitive nature and the
politics
of its authors [2][3].
I've (re-)read the links you've provided (thanks). I guess it's
supposed to be obvious what you find disagreeable about them, but
if one doesn't disagree, it's not that obvious. :-)
(TBH that's the only reason I replied at all: I'd like to learn
more about the different perspectives on this issue. The 'debate'
dividing other projects is entirely unenlightening and tedious. I
hope we can do better.)
That said, I hope we can address any perceived lack of merit in
(our copy of) the CoC without resorting to its original
authors. The resulting irony blast would level multiple city
blocks.
Kind regards,
T G-R
