# Code of conduct

## The short version

Be decent. cairn is a small project about making self-hosted services legible
to the people they are hosted for, and the same courtesy applies to the people
who show up here.

## What is expected

- Assume the other person is acting in good faith, and say what you mean
  plainly.
- Critique the code, the docs or the idea, never the person behind them.
- Accept that maintainers say no: the scope of this project is deliberately
  narrow, and a refusal is about fit, not worth.
- Not everyone writes English comfortably. Read past the grammar to the point.

## What is not

Harassment, insults, discriminatory language, sexual attention, doxxing,
sustained disruption, or any behaviour aimed at making someone unwelcome. This
holds in issues, pull requests, commit messages, and anywhere the project is
represented.

## Reporting

Write to the maintainer at the address in
[SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md), or through GitHub's private reporting. Reports stay
between you and the maintainer. Depending on what happened, the response ranges
from a private word to a permanent ban from the repository.
