[PATCH] D13741: Introduce a *draft* of a code of conduct for the LLVM community and theassociated reporting guide.

[Colin LeMahieu via llvm-commits]

I think the primary interaction people see for this community is on the mailing list and IRC, I don’t foresee people seeking out a code of conduct document for making a determination if they like the community.

 

It seems the document description of conduct will either be consistent with actual community interaction, making it redundant, or it will be inconsistent making it an incorrect representation of actual behavior.

 

Personally I’ve been a part of many internet connected communities and from what I’ve seen everyone around here is very well behaved, probably because we all have professional identities to maintain.  The toxic communities I’ve been a part of haven’t been deterred by a code of conduct and from what I’ve seen it turns in to a headache for whoever has the unfortunate job of making the judgement.

 

In my experience polite reminders about maintaining civility and how we’re all in this project together works the best.

I'm opposed to adopting this document.  I don't think it solves a particular problem and it seems likely to create many.

 

The specific problem it is trying to solve is to make it practical for a newcomer/outsider to the community to understand the kind of community they might be stepping into (& hopefully reassure them that it's one they will feel comfortable in - because that's already the kind of community we try to have). 

In what way do you feel this document does not solve that problem?

What sort of thing do you think would be better at solving that problem?
