All participants in the development of redlines, whether online or otherwise, are expected to abide by this Code of Conduct.
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we pledge to make participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
As this library was first written for lawyers, we expect a professional level of courtesy and respect in our interactions with each other and others.
Being courteous and respectful does not mean that we cannot create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all, including:
- Participants who may not have legal background and knowledge.
- Participants who may not have background or knowledge in computing, coding or software development.
Examples of behaviour that contributes a positive environment include:
- Respectful and courteous language
- Respecting other's viewpoints and experiences
- Gratefully accepting constructive criticism
Examples of unacceptable behaviour by participants include:
- Discourteous, insulting and frivolous language
- Abuse of process
- Public and private harrassment
- Discussions on politics or any matter which has no relation to this project
- Other conduct which we deem could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting.
Violations of the Code of Conduct may be reported by sending an email to [email protected]. All reports will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
We hold the right and responsibility to remove comments or other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any members for other behaviours that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
