# No Code of Conduct
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
*TL;DR:* This project does **NOT** have a so called Code of Conduct,
|
|
||||||
nor will it ever have one.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## The Rant
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The reasons are somewhat complicated and I'll try my best to document
|
|
||||||
them here.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ethical codes or rules come along like laws. But how is ethical or
|
|
||||||
moral behavior defined? And who defines which behavior is ethical and
|
|
||||||
which is not? Certainly not me.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Unless you live in a dictatorship (and more than half of the
|
|
||||||
population on planet earth do as of this writing), laws come into
|
|
||||||
existence by democratic procedures. Laws cover almost every aspect of
|
|
||||||
live in a society. Laws allow and forbid behavior and laws sanction
|
|
||||||
infringements.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A software project like this one on the other hand is not a society.
|
|
||||||
There are not enough people involved to form democratic
|
|
||||||
structures. And there will always be a minority of users who have the
|
|
||||||
right to commit or reject code. How could any maintainer of a software
|
|
||||||
project dare to decree rules upon others? Actually, am I, the current
|
|
||||||
maintainer of this very project authorized to do so?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I think the anser to this question clearly is NO.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The issue is being complicated by the fact, that open source
|
|
||||||
development these days happens on a planetary scale. And this planet
|
|
||||||
houses hundreds if not thousands of different cultures, philosophies,
|
|
||||||
ideologies and worldviews. The answer to many ethical questions will
|
|
||||||
in most cases be vague and nebulous.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ones joke will always be another ones insult.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then there is the problem of language. I myself am not an english
|
|
||||||
native, but I publish everyting using the english language. I am able
|
|
||||||
to communicate with most people in the open source community because
|
|
||||||
of that. But I am certainly not able to understand everything and
|
|
||||||
everyone. There might be nuances to a sentence I don't sense, there
|
|
||||||
might be sarcastic connotations I don't understand or references to
|
|
||||||
historical figures, events or traditions I don't know and never have
|
|
||||||
heard of.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Judging over other peoples online behavior looks like a titanic task
|
|
||||||
to me. It is just not my job to judge others, I am not legitimized or
|
|
||||||
authorized to do so and I am not interested in this kind of business.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Another huge problem with ethical rules is that you need to outline
|
|
||||||
and enforce sanctions on those who violate the rules. But since I am
|
|
||||||
not an elected authority how would I be able to do this? I don't
|
|
||||||
know. And what happens if someone complains about myself? Shall I
|
|
||||||
remove myself from my own project? Come on!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Last but not least there's the law. So, let's say someone in india
|
|
||||||
writes something insulting to some other developer in an issue. Of
|
|
||||||
course german law does not apply to indian people. Moreover, the
|
|
||||||
insult might actually not be an insult in india. In the end, nothing
|
|
||||||
would happen. Under normal circumstances, maintainers would
|
|
||||||
eventually delete the posting, ban the user or remove push privileges
|
|
||||||
etc.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
But then, is there a way for the offending user to defend himself? Of
|
|
||||||
course not, since neither indian or german law alone applies. I cannot
|
|
||||||
go to a german court and sue the guy and he cannot do the same in
|
|
||||||
india. Or - we possibly could but the judges in both countries would
|
|
||||||
just laugh and close the case.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
That being said, I don't have the power nor the tools, nor the
|
|
||||||
authority to enforce serious sanctions of any meaningful kind against
|
|
||||||
others. Therefore I cannot outline any rules whatsoever.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And let's not even start talking about these undemocratic "comitees"
|
|
||||||
many projects are forming to circumvent this problem. Some projects
|
|
||||||
even include external entities like a lawyer or some bureaucrat
|
|
||||||
somewhere just to have the ability to complain against a comitee
|
|
||||||
member. What a mess!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## So, what are the ethical rules within this project then?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Well, there are none.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This project is about code, not society. It doesn't matter where you
|
|
||||||
come from, how you look, how you think, what you believe, who your
|
|
||||||
friends are, whay you said or did sometime in the past. I don't even
|
|
||||||
care if you are a human being. You are an alien so bored that you need
|
|
||||||
to submit code on github? Fine with me. You're a convicted criminal? I
|
|
||||||
don't give a shit!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**The only thing I am interested here is Code and only Code.**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
So if anyhing happens here I don't like or I am obliged by (german!)
|
|
||||||
law to act on, I will decide on a case to case basis what to do. And
|
|
||||||
unfortunately, since this is the nature of a github project, you
|
|
||||||
cannot complain, object or protest. I am very sorry!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you will, let's at least outline these:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Please - just please - behave towards others as you'd expect others
|
|
||||||
to behave towards yourself.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Don't judge others for any reason.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Only judge the code.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
But these are not rules, only a friendly appeal to you as a developer
|
|
||||||
and user.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Thanks a lot!

## Project Goals
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The goal of this project is to build a small tool which helps in
|
|
||||||
maintaining backups of the german ad site kleinanzeigen.de. It should
|
|
||||||
be small, fast and easy to understand.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There will be no GUI, no web interface, no public API of some sort, no
|
|
||||||
builtin interpreter.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The programming language used for this project will always be
|
|
||||||
[GOLANG](https://go.dev/) with the exception of the documentation
|
|
||||||
([Perl POD](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod)) and the Makefile.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
open an issue.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Please add as much information about the case as possible, such as:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Your environment (operating system etc)
|
|
||||||
- kleingebaeck version (`kleingebaeck --version`)
|
|
||||||
- Commandline used. Please replace sensitive information with mock data!
|
|
||||||
- Repeat the command with debugging enabled (`-d` flag)
|
|
||||||
- Actual program output, Please replace sensitive information with mock data!

- Error message - if any.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Be aware that I am working on this (and some others) project in my
|
|
||||||
spare time which is scarce. Therefore please don't expect me to
|
|
||||||
respond to your query within hours or even days. Be patient, but I
|
|
||||||
WILL respond.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Pull Requests
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Code and documentation help is always much appreciated! Please follow
|
|
||||||
thes guidelines to successfully contribute:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Every pull request shall be based on latest `development`
|
|
||||||
branch. `main` is only used for releases.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Execute the unit tests before committing: `make test`. There shall
|
|
||||||
be no errors.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Strive to be backwards compatible so that users who are already
|
|
||||||
using the program don't have to change their habits - unless it is
|
|
||||||
really neccessary.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Try to add a unit test for your fix, addition or modification.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Don't ever change existing unit tests!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Add a meaningful and comprehensive rationale about your contribution:
|
|
||||||
- Why do you think it might be useful for others?
|
|
||||||
- What did you actually change or add?
|
|
||||||
- Is there an open issue which this PR fixes and if so, please link
|
|
||||||
to that issue.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- [Re-]format your code with `gofmt -s`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Avoid unneccesary dependencies, especially for very small functions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **If** a new dependency is being added, it must be compatible with
|
|
||||||
our [license agreement](LICENSE).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- You need to accept that the code or documentation you contribute
|
|
||||||
will be redistributed under the terms of said license agreement. If
|
|
||||||
your contribution is considerably large or if you contribute
|
|
||||||
regularly, then feel free to add your name (and if you want your
|
|
||||||
email address) to the *AUTHORS* section of the
|
|
||||||
[manpage](kleingebaeck.pod).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Adhere to the above mentioned project goals.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- If you are unsure if your addition or change will be accepted,
|
|
||||||
better ask before starting coding. Open an issue about your proposal
|
|
||||||
and let's discuss it! That way we avoid doing unnessesary work on
|
|
||||||
both sides.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Each pull request will be carefully reviewed and if it is a useful
|
|
||||||
addition it will be accepted. However, please be prepared that
|
|
||||||
sometimes a PR will be rejected. The reasons may vary and will be
|
|
||||||
documented. Perhaps the above guidelines are not matched, or the
|
|
||||||
addition seems to be not so useful from my perspective, maybe there
|
|
||||||
are too much changes or there might be changes I don't even
|
|
||||||
understand.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
But whatever happens: your contribution is always welcome!
