I was thinking we need a code of conduct page as required by OSGeo. I plan
to pattern it after the GEOS one <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://libgeos.org/project/coc/">https://libgeos.org/project/coc/</a>
Except
1) Of course not talking about GEOS
2) Spelling out the name in the link instead of that annoying acronym
3) Have reporting go to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:psc@postgis.net">psc@postgis.net</a> (similar to what QGIS does on
theirs -

uct.html
Does anyone have issue with the above plan?</pre>

<p>The GEOS COC defines doxing as "Posting (or threatening to post)
other people’s personally identifying information". This has a
serious issue we ran into with an <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Carto pull request</a> - it does not differentiate between
private information and public information, and disagrees with the
dictionary definitions of doxing, which is about publishing
private information. The below quote applies here</p>
<p>
<blockquote type="cite">As defined here, someone posting my name
and location with my explicit permission would be doxxing me,
and thus prohibited. Additionally, some users are publicly
disclose their location in their profile. These users are
publicising certain information about themselves, and, when
relevant to an issue, I see no reason not to mention the
information they publish.<br>
<br>
When defining dox, Oxford and Wikipedia both include some notion
of the information being private and there normally being some
malice. The definition here has neither.</blockquote>
