Hi all
I just wanted to make sure that you are all aware that the draft
Wikimedia *Universal
Code of Conduct* is currently open for community review, here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Draft_review
I attended an affiliates meeting last night and several members of the UCoC
drafting committee were there, and gave an update on the process. It's
clear that much of the feedback so far has come from the English Wikipedia
community, but the code needs to apply across all communities. I would
therefore encourage anyone who edits as part of a
different Wikimedia project or language Wikipedia to think about reviewing
the draft text through this lens and providing some feedback.
It also seems clear from the discussion that a new Universal Code of
Conduct is definitely going to be introduced, so it's a question of what it
will contain rather than whether or not there will be one.
Best wishes
Lucy
