after proposing the adoption of the CoC on the #scala IRC channel, I got some feedback from a few people that the "Be excellent" part was... a little weird. I've addressed that as follows in two ways: 1) Replacing the "be excellent" wording (because it sounds too much like Bill and Ted) 2) Separating the four points of the code into "rules" and "guidelines", so it's clearer which parts of the code are about what is actually allowed

the phrase "be excellent" is also now associated with a philosophy that no CoC is needed other than to say "Be excellent to each other". I don't think that association existed when this code was originally drafted, but it does now. see e.g. https://plus.google.com/+HannahGrimm/posts/5517czLTefa |
