Code of Conduct

Summary

This Code of Conduct encourages good behaviour in our open source project. We invite participation from many people and foster a welcoming, professional environment free of harassment. Participants who observe conduct issues should report them to [email protected].

Expected Behaviours

• Assume positive intent. Community members should assume good faith in others' communications.
• Respect participants. Disagreements are fine — be persuasive, not bitter.
• Welcome new members. Everyone is new to every project once.
• Be kind to beginners. We were all beginners once.
• Consider your impact. Balance self-interest with communal interest.
• Use words carefully. Irony and sarcasm are easily misread in text.
• Leave with class. You are free to fork the code — your exit should not be dramatic.

Unacceptable Behaviours

• Bigotry. Insults or slurs based on identity, background, or protected class.
• Insults. Demeaning remarks about a person's lifestyle or practices.
• Doxing. Revealing private information without explicit permission.
• Intimidation. Threats of violence or intimidation of any kind.
• Unwanted sexual content.
• Sustained disruption of discussions.

Reporting

Report misconduct to [email protected]. Your report should include:

• Your preferred contact information (anonymous reports cannot be processed).
• Names of those involved.
• Your account of what occurred and, if possible, links to public records.
• Any additional context.

After review we will decide on a response: warning, ban, or removal from the project. Reports are kept confidential to protect victims.
