Harassment consultation 2015/Ideas/Contributor Covenant
Project idea[edit]
Idea by:Ocaasi (WMF)
What is the problem you're trying to solve?[edit]
We have not done what many other open collaborative communities have done: commit to inclusiveness and define limits on behavior. We have also not used what has worked for others as a guide to our own issues. This idea adopts the "Contributor Covenant".
This code of conduct has already been adopted by nearly 10,000 open source projects. Here are just a few major projects using the Contributor Covenant.
- Atom
- AngularJS
- angular-formly
- Babel
- Bundler
- chef-rvm
- Diaspora
- Eclipse
- Elixir
- Exercism.io
- GitLab
- HaskellNow.org
- Homebrew-Cask
- Jekyll
- Lotus
- Mensa
- Monsti CMS
- Mozilla Webmaker
- Rails
- ROM
- RSpec
- ruby-community
- RubyGems.org
- RVM
- Shoes
- Spree
- TinyMCE
- Volt.rb
What is your solution?[edit]
