We don't even have a draft CoC that I am aware of unless I'm reading the page wrong. This seems more specific to the "Rust" CoC, which is the first example CoC on that page. The other two focus on it far less so. We are very fortunate with the general behavior of our community, so I agree we shouldn't focus in an imbalanced way on hypotheticals more than the tangibles. > In particular, regular development discussions can sometimes become > heated, and things be said that sound like flaming or baiting.

I think the "Speak Up!" and Django CoCs are probably more in line with what we would use for the basis of our CoC than the Rust one. I think the focus on language about disagreements and trying to understand each other while not letting it turn abusive seems more in line with our needs/community. > We don't have active moderators for IRC.

Offtopic: AFAIK, yes, you are the only person with ops on the channel. As one of those side issues, we should probably make sure that at least one other person has ops as well for the bus factor. Should a Conservancy member have ops as well for them to be able to hold that important "asset" for us too as they do with a handful of other things?
