Discussion

CoC

• I suggest to use the standard Contributor Covenant as it is available in many languages and it is widely adopted by +300k repos. I believe that 1.4 (latest version) is cool for us. Good F.A.Q too.

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

• For extra info on "Why do I need a code of conduct?, etc..."

Contributing

• I believe that we can use this good example wrote by @PurpleBooth and later on we can add extra info about how do we want to manage GitFlow, merges, PRs, Issues labels...
• Other cool examples:
  • The Atom editor contribution guidelines.
  • The Ruby on Rails contribution guidelines.
  • The Open Government contribution guidelines.
• The implementation seems super simple.

Assignation

• This tasks is an important decision making, let's open discussion. I will transfer all the decisions to the files, but let's @ckarande help us to define what fits better for the project ^^
