The GNU Project encourages contributions from anyone who wishes to
|
|
advance the development of the GNU system, regardless of gender, race,
|
|
ethnic group, physical appearance, religion, cultural background, and
|
|
any other demographic characteristics, as well as personal political
|
|
views.
|
|
|
|
People are sometimes discouraged from participating in GNU development
|
|
because of certain patterns of communication that strike them as
|
|
unfriendly, unwelcoming, rejecting, or harsh. This discouragement
|
|
particularly affects members of unprivileged demographics, but it is
|
|
not limited to them. Therefore, we ask all contributors to make a
|
|
conscious effort, in GNU Project discussions, to communicate in ways
|
|
that avoid that outcome — to avoid practices that will predictably and
|
|
unnecessarily risk putting some contributors off.
|
|
|
|
The GNU Kind Communications Guidelines suggest specific ways to
|
|
accomplish that goal. You can find the latest version at
|
|
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html
|
|
|
|
When sending messages to Emacs mailing lists, we ask you to read and
|
|
respect these guidelines.
