I like that the community members should always treat others with
respect. The wording removes all limitations on where, when, and who
they should treat with respect, which means if we find a member of the
community is posting hate messages elsewhere on the internet he is in
violation of the diversity policy.
I would go with some rewording ("Habari community" is singular, avoid
using "you" and "we," stuff like that). I've proposed a new version
that uses the same text with some minor changes. Feel free to pick and
choose which, if any, changes you adopt.
"""
The Habari project is built on the premise that community is more
important than code. The Habari community is committed to creating a
welcoming environment that embraces people of any ability, gender,
race, ethnicity, religious belief, nationality, and sexual
orientation. Ponies are welcome too.
Members of the community should always treat others with respect,
regardless of their background or involvement with the project.
