Without rushing to decide that we must have a Code of Conduct for social.coop, many of us believe that one would be critical in maintaining a safe environment for discussion and creativity. To that end, let us discuss here the risks and benefits of a Code of Conduct and how one might be phrased. All are encouraged to contribut here.

Resources
- Geek Feminism wiki has the best criteria for what makes a good Code of Conduct that I've seen, with tons of examples.
- Loomio's Conflict Resolution Process and resources are both some of my favorites.
Why have a code of conduct?
- Why Excellence is Not Enough
- The FOSDEM Conundrum
Also Good Resources

Do you feel you could try your hand at a draft, John?

Not in coming month unfortunately, full up! I'd be happy to look over and make suggestions/ edits if someone else can lay it out. Pretty simple building off of the examples provided by geek femme wiki

I've just created a Sandstorm collection with some etherpads we can start editing.

Those resources look great! Would definitely like to integrate NVC into our code and moderation process.

+1 to the idea of having a CoC. It's much easier to have one there at the start, rather than trying to get people to agree to something later. The existance/non-existance of a proper CoC is an important signal for who you want on your site.
