Code of Conduct
WAF++ is an open, welcoming community. This Code of Conduct outlines the standards we hold ourselves to — and what to do when things go wrong.
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in WAF++ a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
Welcoming & Inclusive
Use welcoming and inclusive language. Respect differing viewpoints and experiences. Accept constructive criticism gracefully.
Respectful
Disagreement is fine — disrespect is not. Focus on what is best for the community. Show empathy towards other community members.
Constructive
Provide and accept feedback professionally. Critique ideas, not people. Assume good faith in ambiguous situations.
Collaborative
Work together openly. Share knowledge. Credit others for their contributions. Help newcomers get started.
The following behaviours are considered harassment and are unacceptable within our community:
- The use of sexualised language or imagery, and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
- Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others' private information (physical or electronic addresses) without explicit permission
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
Contact the project maintainers via conduct@waf2p.org or by opening a confidential issue. All reports will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
Maintainers are obligated to maintain confidentiality regarding the reporter of an incident. They will investigate and determine the appropriate response.
Maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, and other contributions that are not aligned with this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for behaviours deemed inappropriate.
This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces — GitHub repositories, Slack channels, GitHub Discussions, pull requests, issues — and in public spaces when an individual is representing the WAF++ project or its community. Examples of representing the project include using an official project email address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 2.1, widely adopted across open source projects. For answers to common questions about this code of conduct, see the FAQ at contributor-covenant.org/faq.
