Haskell Foundation Guidelines For Respectful Communicat

Preamble

-

The Haskell Foundation has adopted these guidelines for respectful communication.

-

We do not seek to impose these guidelines on members of the Haskell community generally. Rather it is a signal that we seek high standards of discourse in the Haskell community, and are willing to publicly hold ourselves to that standard, in the hope that others may voluntarily follow suit.

+

+ The Haskell Foundation has adopted the Standards of Public Behaviour set + out below. Each representative of the Foundation commits themself to those + standards when interacting with other representatves and the public on + Haskell-related matters. We aspire to apply them in all our interactions + in the Haskell sphere, including email, social media and discussion + forums. +

+

+ The standards apply to our behaviour; that is, what we do. They + specifically do not, and should not, seek to constrain anyone's beliefs; + that is, what they think. +

+

+ If one of us fails to meet these standards, the ideal course of action is + to write to that person privately, gently drawing attention to their + lapse. If you are not comfortable with that, please contact the Chair of + the Foundation, or (if the Chair is the problem) the Vice-Chair. +

+

+ Our response should usually be to apologise and stop doing what it was + that you are unhappy about. Even if we feel we have been misinterpreted or + unfairly accused, the chances are good there was something we could have + communicated better, and an apology is far more likely to bring healing + than is a counter-accusation. +

+

+ We do not seek to impose these standards on members of the Haskell + community. Rather, adopting the standards is a signal that we seek high + standards of discourse in the Haskell community, and are willing to + publicly hold ourselves to that standard, in the hope that others may + voluntarily follow suit. +

Guidelines For Respectful Communication

-

As members of the Haskell Foundation, we commit ourselves to a high standard of public behaviour. We have one over-arching rule:

We strive to treat every person with respect.

Specifically, we aspire to these behaviours:

We seek to apply these standards in all our public interactions in the Haskell sphere, including email, social media, discussion forums, and so on.

All these guidelines apply to our behaviour; that is, what we do. They specifically do not, and should not, seek to constrain anyone's beliefs; that is, what they think.

If one of us fails to meet these standards, the ideal course of action is to write to that person privately, gently drawing attention to their lapse. If you're not comfortable with that, please contact the chair of the Foundation, or (if the chair is the problem) the vice-chair or co-chair.

Our Standards of Public Behaviour

-

Our response should usually be to apologise and stop doing what it was that you are unhappy about. Even if we feel we have been misinterpreted or unfairly accused, the chances are good there was something we could have communicated better, and an apology is far more likely to bring healing than is a counter-accusation.
