Hi Stanislav,
I have made a small change to The Pragmatist Code of conduct from
'behave like an adult to 'you are expected to show others civility and
courtesy.'

That should be cleared, and assuming good faith should be part of the
CoC no matter which one we choose in the end, having people in the
project so many diverse background and cultures.
Here is the thing, it might not be enough but is at least what I
consider a minimal foundation; the way the conversation has approach the
problem so far is trying to elaborate on every single scenario and how
to penalize the bad actors on those scenarios.
But if we are to agree into a first version of the PHP CoC then we
should start with minimum requirements the MVP if you like :D.
Asking people to assume good faith and be civil is in my opinion all we
can and should ask in my opinion; yes there will be misunderstandings,
yes there will be bad actors. But when the time comes those scenarios
can be deal with.
This at it's core is what really bothers me about the Contributors
Covenant and the whole narrative behind that assumes to worst in people;
that in my opinion is fundamentally wrong.
Assume the best in people and you will pleasantly surprised, assume the
worst of them and all your fears will be validated.
Kind Regards,
Allan MacGregor

Hi!
Now, if we are still adamant on coming up with a CoC first I would like
to put forward the following 3 documents as alternatives for the
Contributor Covenant:
[A contribution policy for open source that
works](https://medium.com/@jmaynard/a-contribution-policy-for-open-source-that-works-bfc4600c9d83#.d53666v7u)
This one deals with code contributions, but our discussion is wider. In
fact, we never, as far as I could remember, had code contribution which
was per se controversial. We did have ones that were controversial in
that we disagreed on whether or not that code is doing what we actually
want to do, but the code usually is not a problem.
[The Code of
Merit](https://github.com/rosarior/Code-of-Merit/blob/master/CODE_OF_MERIT.md)
I don't particularly like this approach, it sounds too defensive.
[The Pragmatists Code of
Conduct](https://github.com/amacgregor/Pragmatists-Code-of-Conduct/blob/master/Prag-Code-of-Conduct.md)
This one basically can be TLDRed as "behave as an adult". Which is nice
if we were to agree what it means, but that is in no way automatic, thus
I am afraid it is not enough :) Assuming good faith is a nice touch
though, I like it.
