[llvm-dev] Code of Conduct Next Steps - Community feedback needed

[Tanya Lattner via llvm-dev]

I find this response quite offense. I am not a secretary sending an email to my boss. My intent is not malicious. I asked him if the methods I proposed were not sufficient as my goal is to include all input. Google docs is not an invalid way to collaborate  on a text document. Is one way among many. It is not code in the purest form of the word which we can debate. But that is not the point. No format is perfect. Some people may be against github or Phabricator as the don’t want want an account there or don’t like it for text documents. 

I would really appreciate some thinking that I am not just trying to be disagreeable or not trying to be flexible. I am not an evil person. I am actually trying to do a good thing and meet the needs of as many individuals as possible.

When I click on a Google Docs link, I am asked to agree to a privacy policy that is very vague and I am somewhat uncomfortable agreeing to it.

I like github for this as well since it could be easier to track the precise questions/objections and track that flow to resolution. Compared to google docs which is like what a secretary might send to the boss, but I've never seen used to handle a technical issue like this. To me this is "code" and I'd love to see how questions are asked and how that discussion evolves until resolution. Like a github issue.. Maybe google docs has this and I've just been missing it. There's also the question of how transparent you want this process to be and if you want it to be accessible to every llvm developer. Telling David to just email you or making him agree to some Google privacy thing isn't a very warm, friendly or productive start.
