I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the Code of Conduct (CoC). Apache CouchDB's CoC is now also the Apache Software Foundation's CoC. In there, we state:
If you believe someone is violating this code of conduct, you may reply to them and point out this code of conduct. Such messages may be in public or in private, whatever is most appropriate. Assume good faith; it is more likely that participants are unaware of their bad behaviour than that they intentionally try to degrade the quality of the discussion. Should there be difficulties in dealing with the situation, you may report your compliance issues in confidence to [email protected]. There's some good minds on this list. Everyone has an opinion. And, as far as I can tell, everyone is trying hard to improve the visibility and viability of CouchDB. If you are seriously concerned about someone's actions, please follow the reporting guidelines and attempt to deal with issues off of the mailing lists. Should this fail, or you are uncomfortable confronting the individual directly, you can call in our private@ mailing list - and the PMC will step in to try and resolve issues amicably. I'm super glad this mini storm in a teacup resolved itself without having to resort to more drastic measures. -Joan
