Re: WIP: CoC V5

Still trying the Danish "Make Love not Codes" approach (Love being the
plural of the Danish Lov meaning law).

1. The CoC is to provide community guidelines for creating and enforcing a
safe, respectful, productive, and collaborative place for any person who is
willing to contribute in a safe, respectful, productive and collaborative
way. This CoC is only about interaction via community channels or relating
to community commons. Your personal lives outside the PostgreSQL community
are your own.

2. Please be respectful of others. Understand that the community is about
collaboration. We are here to build and further a software project, so
let's work together.

3. Please try to assume that perceived slights are the result of genuine
miscommunication or different perspective not personal attacks. Assume
others are being reasonable.

4. Please respect the common work and the need for high quality of code.
Understand that the review process is an opportunity for discussion and
improvement. Work to further the community and the software, and assume
that others are doing the same.

5. The CoC committee, those they designate may take action as needed to
facilitate or, as necessary, take action to enforce the community
principles and conduct embodied in this CoC. For affiliated projects, the
maintainers of the project or those they designate may fill the same role
instead.

=====

I am going to reiterate my view that a rules approach is not going to
really prevent problems and those who want to harass others can often use
codes of conduct as weapons to do so. I would rather see something as
general as possible.emphasizing what we want rather than what we want to
avoid.
