The original draft text came from the "Speak Up" project; the Ada Initiative - a specialist group dealing with inclusivity and engagement of women in technical spaces - was consulted during the drafting process, and their suggestions (such as specifically enumerating infringing behaviours) were incorporated into the text. - Am I correct in assuming that the sole aforementioned invocation of the > DCoC was the following? > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-developers/Y_Tq7w4PAeI/WurT7J3Rcd0J > - Would it be correct to state that, with or without this wording, the > results of breaking the DCoC would be identical?

One of the issues that has been referred to the Code of Conduct committee was specifically about activities outside "official" Django spaces. These changes serve to clarify the fact that we don't turn a blind eye to infringing activities just because they weren't conducted "on our turf". - These rules have been referred to several times as guidelines to adhere > to.

Rather, take it in the spirit in which it’s intended - a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate." Of course, P2 also refers to the document as being a set of "rules". Altering P2 (or the updated location as a result of PR#84) to say "This code" rather than "these rules" makes sense to me.
