Community principles
We build trust and impact through clarity, respect, and action.
Respect everyone
We welcome all backgrounds and experience levels. Be kind, patient, and inclusive.
Share openly, credit generously
Cite your sources. Give credit when building on others' work. Knowledge grows when shared.
Lift others up
Answer questions, share resources, and give constructive feedback. Teaching is the best way to learn.
Stay focused and constructive
Keep discussions on-topic and productive. Debate ideas, not people.
Protect the space
No spam or self-promotion. Respect others' privacy and personal data.
