[Scons-dev] Code of conduct?

[Gary Oberbrunner]

I'm in favor of something like this. It's really important to be a
welcoming and inclusive community. I don't think having a code of conduct
is any kind of admission of failure; rather I see it as a proactive
statement of inclusiveness and professionalism. I wonder if a broader code
of conduct wouldn't make sense as well, covering general ethics
(intellectual property, honesty, integrity, objectivity, humility,
transparency, conflicts of interest, etc.) and professional behavior as
well as some of the specific coverages in the CC? Anyone know of examples
of such things that might apply to a group like ours? Of course lawyers,
doctors, and engineers have such codes but they tend to be lawyery and
overdone. I'd almost be in favor of just "don't be a jerk" but I think that
doesn't work for the people it most needs to work for. What about e.g.
