How We Updated Drupal's Code of Conduct
summary
Project begins in 2022 with a seven-person core team and about a dozen stakeholders plus the ~20-person Community Health Team, runs in two-week sprints, and hits a six-month draft milestone. Work uses Miro and Trello to map goals and tasks, drafts simplify language with Hemingway and Readable, and community feedback is collected via an issue and a three-week public review (plus anonymous forms). Outcome: a shorter, example-driven code (examples collapsed by default), easier translation, and final sign-off underway by conflict resolution and board reviewers.
