Code of Conduct
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
Like the technical community as a whole, the Read the Docs team and community
|
||
is made up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers from all over
|
||
the world, working on every aspect of the mission - including
|
||
mentorship, teaching, and connecting people.
|
||
|
||
Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to
|
||
communication issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground
|
||
rules that we ask people to adhere to. This code applies equally to
|
||
founders, mentors and those seeking help and guidance.
|
||
|
||
This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you can’t do. Rather, take
|
||
it in the spirit in which it’s intended - a guide to make it easier to
|
||
enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate.
|
||
|
||
This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the Read the Docs project.
|
||
This includes IRC, the mailing lists, the
|
||
issue tracker, and any other forums created by the project
|
||
team which the community uses for communication. In addition, violations
|
||
of this code outside these spaces may affect a person's ability to
|
||
participate within them.
|
||
|
||
If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you
|
||
report it by emailing dev@readthedocs.org.
|
||
|
||
- **Be friendly and patient.**
|
||
- **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and
|
||
supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but
|
||
is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national
|
||
origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class,
|
||
educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and
|
||
expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and
|
||
mental and physical ability.
|
||
- **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you
|
||
in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will
|
||
affect users and colleagues, and you should take those consequences
|
||
into account when making decisions. Remember that we're a world-wide
|
||
community, so you might not be communicating in someone else's
|
||
primary language.
|
||
- **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but
|
||
disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We
|
||
might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot
|
||
allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It’s important
|
||
to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or
|
||
threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Read the Docs community
|
||
should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with
|
||
people outside the Read the Docs community.
|
||
- **Be careful in the words that you choose.** We are a community of
|
||
professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to
|
||
others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and
|
||
other exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is
|
||
not limited to:
|
||
|
||
- Violent threats or language directed against another person.
|
||
- Discriminatory jokes and language.
|
||
- Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
|
||
- Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally
|
||
identifying information ("doxing").
|
||
- Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
|
||
- Unwelcome sexual attention.
|
||
- Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
|
||
- Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to
|
||
stop, then stop.
|
||
|
||
- **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both
|
||
social and technical, happen all the time and Read the Docs is no exception.
|
||
It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views
|
||
constructively. Remember that we’re different. The strength of Read the Docs
|
||
comes from its varied community, people from a wide range of
|
||
backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues.
|
||
Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean
|
||
that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming
|
||
each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to
|
||
resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
