Shared Values and the Drupal Community

An alternative is the drupal-cwg [at] drupal.org email address, as documented on https://www.drupal.org/governance/community-working-group.

We chose to use Google Forms because a wide variety of people about whom conflicts may occur have very high-level access to Drupal.org. A neutral third-party service doesn't have this problem, although I totally get why some have ToS concerns with it.

Could we please have that email address added to the top of the Incident Report form, just to make it obvious for people? Thanks!

I've edited the form and updated the issue.

Would be good to get some sanity check eyeballs on it though!

Thanks all!
@gaele - for raising the question
@DamienMcKenna - for the suggestions.
@webchick - for adding to the queue.

You asked for "sanity check eyballs" on https://www.drupal.org/governance/community-working-group/incident-report

I have a few comments:

a) There is a very large wall of text at the top. Maybe it could be organized into bullets or sections or something? [see below]

b) You might also want to take a look at the descriptions for the Who/What etc. questions. They are a bit repetitive.

c) The "Who" question also has a mix of questions (ending in ?) and ... sort-of questions (ending in .) which turned me off.

d) "Please include links or quoted text if relevant." is under "where". Um... I think that would be under "what"? At least the "quoted text" sounds like a "what" not a "where"? It's kind of confusing what the distinction is.

So... Here's my suggestion for the top. Items in [] are my notes on the edits.

The community working group (CWG) upholds the Drupal Code of Conduct (DCOC). See:
- https://drupal.org/governance/community-working-group
- https://drupal.org/dcoc

[made this a bullet list]

Reporting incidents to the CWG

[header added]

This form can be used to report incidents that may breach the code of conduct, or to report non-code, non-technical issues that can't be resolved between members of the community.

Alternatively, you may email the CWG directly: [email protected]
Please make sure to include as much information as you can by answering the questions in the form in your email. [note: small edit in this sentence]

Incidents to report elsewhere

[added header, and this information came from elsewhere on the page]
IMPORTANT: If you are in any kind of immediate physical danger, please contact your local authorities.

Technical disputes should be raised with the Technical Working Group. Personal disputes that have arisen out of technical issues can be brought to the CWG.

Notes about incident reports

[added header, and the information here elsewhere on the page]
We hope you've tried to resolve issues between yourselves. If that failed, we hope that you reached out to fellow friends and colleagues in the community to help mediate your dispute. This form should only be used when those steps did not lead to resolution.

These incident reports are shared with the immediate members of the Drupal Community Working Group and are kept confidential. In some cases we may decide it necessary to make a public statement. In that case, the identities of all involved will remain confidential unless there are strong reasons, or mutual agreement they should be revealed.

Thanks Jennifer - really useful review and patch.

Going to paste this into the issue https://www.drupal.org/node/2299737

Let's see if we can tighten up the wording around those questions too.

Hi, I heard about Drupal is now a growing community and knowing that the mentored sprints was attended by many to listen to tools presentation is such a very successful one. In relevance to this, I am with you to say that we must be aware in keeping our shared principles and values in mind when interacting with others to be able to attain an inspiring event like the Drupal sprints at Amsterdam.
