Speaking for myself: no. I think the GKCG fails to address important issues, such as defining what=E2=80=99s acceptable and what=E2=80=99s not a= s well as clear processes to address this. > Adopting the GKCG instead of a CoC would help attracting people (like > me) who agree to use a welcoming and respectful language which > encourages everyone to contribute but are reluctant in contributing to > any project following a CoC due to its punitive nature and the politics > of its authors [2][3]. Codes of conduct codify acceptable behavior and formalize processes: what can I do as a contributor if I=E2=80=99m a victim bad behavior or harassment? What are the group communication rules? What if I knowingly break those rules? By adopting the code of conduct, we maintainers committed to spend our time as needed to so your experience contributing to Guix won=E2=80=99t be a source of stress or worse, as is too often the case in on-line communities. The GKCG do not do that. Problems will be dealt with in an ad hoc fashion (as they already are in groups that have not codified rules), if they are addressed at all. I hope this answers your question. Happy hacking! Ludo=E2=80=99.
