Scope

This repo is explicitly an unofficial part of the Stack community. An official policy would need to be approved by the full Stack team. Such a policy could then have enforcement that includes excluding people from repositories, mailing lists, and other official community resources. I will not conceit to make such decisions unilaterally.

My goal here is different. I am trying to establish some accepted standards for behavior of the Stack community in general. I am hoping for this to be broader than just official communication channels. I'm going to encourage improved communications across all mediums.

But I have no right to demand this of anyone, especially in general communications. Therefore this repository serves primarily to document how I believe people should act in the Stack community.

As I have done in the past, I will be available for people to privately express concerns about the behaviors of others, in keeping with the CoC. And while I will not make unilateral decisions on behalf of the Stack leadership, I will, as necessary:

• Reach out privately to request changes in behavior
• Publicly request changes in behavior
• Raise the issue with the rest of the Stack leadership and consider a more official response
