📑 Highlights and Annotations

draft of the proposed OpenETC code of conduct

When making a CoC, it’s always nice to spend some time researching others.

Here’s a copy of the IndieWeb’s CoC, which I’ve liked. They also documented a list of other CoC’s for other communities that might be worth looking at as well. Most of them have licenses for ease of cutting/pasting for reuse.

I don’t see a license on this draft, but it would be nice if you provided a CC0 license for it.

Temporary access

Large portions of the material below this read more like a Terms of Service than a Code of Conduct. It might be more useful to split these into two pages to better delineate the two ideas.

Guidelines

These are some generally useful guidelines, but it would be nice to have a section on where to go or who to contact for help and conflict resolution. What should someone who notices a violation do? Where should they turn for help?

use the services of the OpenETC

What would constitute a full list of the services of OpenETC? Is it just this website, or does it include email lists, chat rooms, a Slack room, other services? The CoC should apply to all these areas listed.
