Overhaul the DEIB statement on w.org
Opened this issue · 4 comments
Currently, there is no DEIB statement on first level on wordpress.org
There is an outdated version about diversity, equity and inclusion on make.wordpress.org https://make.wordpress.org/handbook/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-in-wordpress/
Goal: Having a solid DEIB statement for the project on same level as the accessibility statement https://wordpress.org/about/accessibility/
During the CloudFest Hackathon, we started drafting a repository for the contributor handbook to build on workflows and structure https://github.com/os-deib/contributor-handbook
Asked on Slack/github-teams-collab to transfer the contributor-handbook repo from the OS-DEIB GitHub org over to the WordPress org. @leogopal is assessing ways to transfer the repo without losing the contributor history.
Related to the mentioned goal above is Proposal for DEI Metrics Assessment Across WordPress Teams #25
Ideally a DEI.md file in every repo under the WordPress org on GitHub would align with the proposed global DEIB statement on wordpress.org/about/deib
See initial proposal for the contributor handbook by @josephahaden https://make.wordpress.org/updates/2021/03/16/proposal-a-wordpress-project-contributor-handbook/
