Our current Code of Conduct is a mix of idealism and practice. If we are to be a community based on values, or principles, or ideals–and maybe we’re not–we need to say so. We need to discover what those values are and express them in actionable ways. A Statement of Values would give us an instance, something concrete to reference when we talk about the “who we are” part of Drupal.
