+The OpenVK development effort is a very personal process compared to "traditional" ways of developing software.
+Your code and ideas behind it will be carefully reviewed, often resulting in critique and criticism.
+The review will almost always require improvements to the code before it can be included in the repo.
+Know that this happens because everyone involved wants to see the best possible solution for the overall success of OpenVK.
+
+If however, anyone feels personally abused, threatened, or otherwise uncomfortable due to this process, that is not acceptable.
+If so, please contact the community manager @WerySkok and report the issue.
+
+As a reviewer of code, please strive to keep things civil and focused on the technical issues involved. We are all humans,
+and frustrations can be high on both sides of the process.
+Try to keep in mind the immortal words of Bill and Ted, "Be excellent to each other."
