My main task for this iteration (other than coaching) is to come up with a community guidelines document. I've just posted the draft to the mailing list so I'll just copy what I wrote there:
So, I drafted a proposed set of community guidelines. These aren't a full TOS or anything like that, but a short statement of values and then setting out a few specific interpersonal behaviours that aren't welcome, and what we'll do if they happen. I figure that when we get around to having a TOS, we include it by reference, i.e. the TOS will say something like "you agree to abide by our community guidelines".
I've put the document in github and I figure the TOS and any other policies (eg. privacy policy, copyright policy) can go there too. The good thing about having this stuff in github is that if/when we change any of our policies the change history will be visible, and people can see what's different from one version to the next.
Anyway! My draft is at https://github.com/Growstuff/policy/blob/master/community-guidelines.md and I would appreciate people reading it and letting me know what you think. I'm interested in anything ranging from high level conceptual feedback to smaller wording tweaks.
