Re: Contributing Guidelines

[Benjamin Young <by...@bigbluehat.com>]

Hi all,

Sorry I missed this mail earlier this year. All ASF projects are actually under the ASF's Code of Conduct:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html

We can certainly make that more clear and get it into a CODE_OF_CONDUCT file.

We should also see if there's a "standard" CONTRIBUTING doc for ASF projects. We can certainly check on other ASF projects and reuse there's--at least if they're using GitHub, etc (and most are at this point).

Cheers,
Benjamin

Subject: Re: Contributing Guidelines

Hello,

I’m clearing out my inbox, so apologies if the proposed actions have already happened. Contribution guidelines would be a useful thing to have.

I’m fine with adopting a CoC if that is something people feel a need for. The one we use at Hypothesis is based on the Contributor Covenant (https://github.com/hypothesis/h/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT <https://github.com/hypothesis/h/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT>).

Kind Regards,
Rob
