<p><em>This Code of Conduct and Diversity Statement has not yet been made official by the community. This is a work in progress.</em>
-<h1>Introduction<em><br></em></h1>
+<h1>Introduction</h1>
<p>This code of conduct <u>governs how we behave</u> in any forum and whenever we will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honoured by everyone who participates in the Apache CouchDB community <a href="http://formally%20recognized%20roles%20and%20responsibilities">formally</a> or informally, or claims any affiliation with the project.
<p>This code of conduct also <u>applies to all spaces</u> managed by the Apache CouchDB project, including IRC, all public and private mailing lists, the issue tracker, the wiki, the blogs, Twitter, and any other forum which the community uses for communication. <em><span style="color: rgb(255,0,0);">TODO: An expanded code of conduct is being drafted for events that involve physical interaction (conferences), based on the</span> <a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/anti-harassment.html">published ASF anti-harassment policy</a>.</em>
<p>This code <u>is not exhaustive or complete</u>. It serves to distill our common understanding of a collaborative, shared environment and goals. We expect it to be followed in spirit as much as in the letter, so that it can enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate.
<h1>Specific Guidelines</h1>
<p>We strive to:
<ol>
-<li><strong>Be open</strong>. We invite anyone to participate in our community. As per <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=40511017#ProjectBylaws%28WIP%29-3.DecisionMaking">Section 3 of our Project Bylaws</a>, we preferably use public methods of communication for project-related messages, unless discussing something sensitive. This applies to messages for help or CouchDB-related support, too; not only is a public support request much more likely to result in an answer to a question, it also makes sure that any inadvertent mistakes made by people answering will be more easily detected and corrected.<br>
-<br>
-<li><strong>Be <a href="#ProjectCodeofConductandDiversityStatement(WIP)-Endnotes">empathetic</a>, welcoming, friendly, and patient</strong>: We work together to resolve conflict, assume good intentions, and do our best to act in an empathetic fashion. We may all experience some frustration from time to time, but we do not allow frustration to turn into a personal attack. A community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. We should be respectful when dealing with other community members as well as with people outside our community.<br>
-<br>
-<li><strong>Be collaborative.</strong> Our work will be used by other people, and in turn we will depend on the work of others. When we make something for the benefit of the project, we are willing to explain to others how it works, so that they can build on the work to make it even better. Any decision we make will affect users and colleagues, and we take those consequences seriously when making decisions.<br>

-<p><strong>Be inquisitive</strong>. Nobody knows everything! Asking questions early avoids many problems later, so questions are encouraged, though they may be directed to the appropriate forum.

-<li><strong>Be careful in the words that we choose.</strong> Whether we are participating as professionals or volunteers, we value professionalism in all interactions, and take responsibility for our own speech. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behaviour are not acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:<br>

When somebody leaves or disengages from the project they should tell people they are leaving and take the proper steps to ensure that others can pick up where they left off. In doing so, they should remain respectful of those who continue to participate in the project and should not misrepresent the project's goals or achievements. Likewise, community members should respect any individual's choice to leave the project.</ol>

<h1>Diversity Statement</h1>
<p>Apache CouchDB welcomes and encourages participation by everyone. We are committed to being a community that everyone feels good about joining. Although we may not be able to satisfy everyone, we will always work to treat everyone well.
<p>No matter how you identify yourself or how others perceive you: we welcome you. Though no list can hope to be comprehensive, we explicitly honour diversity in: age, culture, ethnicity, genotype, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, neurotype, phenotype, political beliefs, profession, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, subculture and technical ability.
