Judging a book by its cover - how inclusive is your community?
summary
Covers hard numbers (2017 survey: 18% experienced negative interaction, 50% witnessed one, 21% quit; 93% report missing docs; 67% care about license) and concrete fixes: prominently published code of conduct, anti-harassment/ethics statements, multiple contacts for reports, documented contribution paths and issue tags, mentorship programs, captions/lactation rooms/childcare, and social media/comment policies. Reviews WordPress, Kubernetes, Mozilla, Linux and Drupal sites for real gaps and wins, with examples of what exists, what’s missing, and practical next steps to improve inclusion.
