This discouragement +particularly affects members of disprivileged demographics, but it is +not limited to them. Therefore, we ask all contributors to make a +conscious effort, in GNU Project discussions, to communicate in ways +that avoid that outcome — to avoid practices that will predictably and +unnecessarily risk putting some contributors off. + +The GNU Kind Communications Guidelines suggest specific ways to +accomplish that goal. You can find the latest version at +https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html + +When sending messages to Emacs mailing lists, we ask you to read and +respect these guidelines. |
