Hi, PHP friends. =20

=46ollowing on from Larry=E2=80=99s comments, here=E2=80=99s a thing I wr=
ote one time: https://gist.github.com/nateabele/8d156730dc428322fca5 =20

Someone proposed adding the Contributor Covenant to one of my OS projects=
. I read it, and some of the language made me a little uncomfortable, so =
I wrote up a wish list for what I=E2=80=99d want to see in any CoC we wer=
e to adopt. Maybe it=E2=80=99ll help here, maybe it won=E2=80=99t. It=E2=80=
=99s worth what you paid for it. :-)

I=E2=80=99ve also heard arguments elsewhere that it=E2=80=99s somehow dan=
gerous for projects to craft their own CoC, and they should only stick to=
 =E2=80=98established=E2=80=99 ones like the Contributor Covenant. This s=
eems like =46UD to me. Licenses are also important, complicated documents=
 with serious implications, and while you might not want to write your ow=
n, projects have a huge selection of OS licenses to choose from, and each=
 project can find one that suits their specific needs and community. I do=
n=E2=80=99t see why CoCs should be any different.

Oh, and try not to be =5Ftoo=5F hard on Jones. He may be an acquired tast=
e, but he started writing contributor guidelines before it was cool. ;-) =
