Dojo Foundation Code Of Conduct (version 0.3)
=============================================

The Dojo Foundation is committed to creating a level playing field for
contributors, users, and sponsors of Foundation products. We steadfastly
believe that the construction of great Open Source products requires the talent
of a diverse group of contributors. Therefore, creating an environment of
mutual respect, cooperation, and civility is central to the daily functioning
of all Dojo Foundation projects. Behavior that isn't welcome in the modern
workplace isn't welcome in our community.

Foundation contributors and community members try to work together by these
principles, be it by mailing list, forum, email, IRC, or face-to-face
gathering.

	-	*Respect others.*
		Foundation projects operate on respect and trust. Without them, the
		entire process of building open products breaks down quickly. IRC,
		forums, and mailing lists may seem anonymous but there are other people
		on the other end of the screen who are as deserving of your respect,
		patience, and understanding and you are of theirs. Comments that
		disparage others, contain sexual overtones or innuendo, or which could
		offend those who don't share your personal viewpoint do great harm to
		the cause of building great open products and aren't appropriate in
		public discussions. You can help build a stronger community by treating
		others with respect, particularly those whom you might not know well.
		You never can tell how much you'll learn from a stranger and being
		respectful is the only way to ever find out.

	- 	*Value others contributions.* 
		Foundation products aren't just software. Code contributions are valued
		equally to other types of participation and committer status is
		frequently given to contributors who don't write code at all. Artwork,
		documentation, testing, support, websites, project leadership,
		evangelism, and community organizing are all critical to building great
		products and Foundation projects work hard to recognize all
		high-quality, constructive contributions. When others contribute in
		ways which you may not be expert, be considerate of their opinions and
		viewpoints since they likely represent another perspective which is
		also critical to the success of the product.

	-	*Assume good faith.* 
		Misunderstandings are common in the development of open products and
		healthy, even heated, disagreements are to be expected. Assuming that
		others in the community are also working to make the world a better
		place goes a very long way to avoiding personal conflict and needless
		grudges. Communities are defined not by whether or not there is
		conflict, but by how those conflicts are resolved. We aspire to work
		constructively with each other even when we disagree.

	- 	*Be kind.* 
		Community members give freely of their personal and professional time
		to build and support Foundation products. That work is often done with
		little thanks, so be mindful when discussing bugs, design issues, and
		support topics that open products are a gift from others to you. If
		you're asking for assistance, bear this in mind and try to be
		understanding of the sacrifices others are making. Likewise, if you are
		assisting others it is far better to leave a question unanswered than
		to be rude or impatient. Receive graciously, give cheerfully. Lastly,
		remember that Foundation projects work to build positive relationships
		with other projects - even competitors - so always speak well of other
		products.

Many other Open Source projects work together in a similar collaborative
spirit. You can learn more about the principles of meritocracy and openness
that define truly open development here:
