I'm in favor of something like this. It's really important to be a welcoming and inclusive community. I don't think having a code of conduct is any kind of admission of failure; rather I see it as a proactive statement of inclusiveness and professionalism. I wonder if a broader code of conduct wouldn't make sense as well, covering general ethics (intellectual property, honesty, integrity, objectivity, humility, transparency, conflicts of interest, etc.) and professional behavior as well as some of the specific coverages in the CC? Anyone know of examples of such things that might apply to a group like ours? Of course lawyers, doctors, and engineers have such codes but they tend to be lawyery and overdone. I'd almost be in favor of just "don't be a jerk" but I think that doesn't work for the people it most needs to work for. What about e.g. http://yahoo.github.io/codeofconduct?
