As a possible way of organizing the drafts, I have created a GitHub
repository that contains the current draft code of conduct.  It can be
found here:

https://github.com/gmcharlt/koha-code-of-conduct/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md

This version of the draft is nearly the same as the draft that Chris
Cormack proposed, with two differences:

* Adding a title and Markdown formatting, just so that the text
displays nicely on GitHub's web interface.
* Adding gender identity as one of the explicitly-named categories. [1]

Folks who are inclined to propose amendments via GitHub pull requests
are welcome to do so.  I will use this thread to report any that I
receive for commentary and assent.

Note that it is not necessary at all to use GitHub to participate in
the discussion or propose changes; I will create pull requests on
behalf of anybody who proposes a change directly.

[1] See the "key facts" heading of
http://www.amnesty.org/en/sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity for a
definition of gender identity.

Regards,

Galen
