In our work on the WikiEducator Code of Conduct, we noticed an inconsistency and would like your feedback on how to proceed.
The current draft of the code begins with an introduction which includes the statement: "This code of conduct is rooted in a value system. Wikieducators value: *diversity, freedom, innovation, transparency, equality, inclusivity, empowerment, human dignity, wellbeing and sustainability*[1]<http://wikieducator.org/Workgroup:Code_of_Conduct/1st_Draft#cite_note-0> ." These values were chosen as they are listed in the background section of the Open Community Governance Policy (Draft 2)<http://wikieducator.org/Workgroup:Amendments_to_Open_Community_Governance_Policy/2nd_Draft_Policy#Background> . The inconsistency arises because the WikiEducator Main Page also lists values. The version on the Main Page is structured quite differently (4 bullet point statements). In my opinion the two versions are quite similar in content and intent. The difference is in the structure of the text. I much prefer the list of values, shown above, to the bulleted statements provided on the main page and am writing to suggest that WE revise the main page to use this list of values (first proposed in 2007 and approved by the WikiEducator Community Council on 15 May 2010). There are a number of other pages that reference the Main Page values, so if we decide to revise them, we will need to attend to how the change effects these other pages, but I don't think it would cause undue difficulty. Please reply with your thoughts on this proposal. Thanks.
