+# Be Nice(r)!
+
+1. **Bring the best, and most adorable, version of yourselves.**
+
+   We encourage everyone to bring out the most respectful, positive, and
+   helpful version of themselves.
+
+2. **Everyone is welcome!**
+
+   Everyone is welcome to contribute, so make sure everyone feels welcome.
+
+   * **Nurture new contributors.** Help them learn the codebase and processes,
+     fill in gaps when needed, thank them for their contribution, and make
+     them feel welcome and valued.
+     This goes double for design and documentation contributors!
+   * **Support coders.** Without code, there is no project. Contributors
+     who take the time to write and maintain code are key to the project’s
+     success. Offer assistance and recognition wherever possible.
+
+3. **People are different...**
+
+   Expect to interact with people different from you—whether in worldview,
+   politics, religion, identity, or background. You do not have to agree with them,
+   but you are _expected_ to behave respectfully and make them feel welcome.
+
+4. **Do not “punch down.”**
+
+   We will not tolerate sexism, racism, homophobia, or any other indecorous or boorish behavior.
+   Such behavior is not adorable (see #1).
+
+5. **Be the hero!**
+
+    If you see something, say something, ..and do something.
+    Stand up for someone else - especially if they're different from you.
+
+6. **Everyone has good and bad days.**
+
+   We expect that you take a break rather than let your bad
+   day affect everyone else. We might suggest that you take a break if you forget.
+
+   * People who continually drain the joy from the group may be asked to leave.
+   * People who continually increases the joy of the group may be nominated
+     to leadership positions.
