Hi guys,
I discussed with a co-developer of a code that is developed pretty much
like Pencil, open-source, a team, version control, etc. Talking to him
about code development, I asked if there were cases of flame fights or
heated arguments in the code community. He mentioned a couple of cases,
and pointed me to books on open source development where such stuff
is discussed. Not surprisingly, it is quite a common occurrence.
Chapter 6 of the first link, from 102 on (“Difficult People”), is
particularly relevant.

Good electronic communication
For an electronic discussion, there is no such thing as a meta-level of
information transfer. Therefore, every good electronic communicator just
stays with the facts. And if an interpretation needs to be done, one
chooses the interpretation that assumes best motives of your opponent.
Only then, one has a chance to understand the opponent right. And
without understanding an opponent fully, one has no right to answer.

Code of Conduct
Although spaces may feel informal at times, we want to remind ourselves
that this is a professional space. As such, the Pencil Code community
adheres to a code of conduct adapted from the Contributor Covenant
(https://www.contributor-covenant.org/) code of conduct. All
contributors will be required to confirm they have read our
code of conduct,
and are expected to adhere to it in all Pencil Code spaces and
associated interactions.
