So…there’s one more important housekeeping item we should think about before we begin. What are our community values? How do we want to give and receive responses to one another?
My thinking may be too simplistsic (and I hope you will tell me so, if that’s the case) but, for me, four key values come to mind to guide our posts here:
⏤kindness
⏤inclusiveness
⏤respect
⏤civility
⏤inclusiveness
⏤respect
⏤civility
What else should be on the list? Are there things I am missing?
