Code of Conduct

Wheel of Heaven is an open project. Anyone is welcome to read the corpus, engage with its claims, propose corrections, raise objections, contribute translations, or suggest new directions. This page describes the standards the project expects from anyone participating in its public spaces — the GitHub Discussions, the issue tracker, pull requests, and any other channel the project may add in the future.

The pledge

The project commits to being a space where participation does not depend on background, identity, or prior agreement with the corpus's framework. Substantive disagreement is welcomed. Identity-based hostility is not. The project takes both of these commitments seriously, and the second is enforced where it occurs.

Encouraged

• Engaging the substance of the corpus — including challenging it
• Asking honest questions, even ones the author may have answered elsewhere
• Reading carefully before responding, and quoting what you are responding to
• Acknowledging your own uncertainty where it exists
• Pointing out errors directly, with the source for the correction
• Translating, citing, building on, or republishing the work (the CC0 license actively invites this)

Not welcome

• Personal attacks, harassment, or targeted hostility against any participant
• Discrimination on the basis of identity, background, or belief
• Trolling, repeated bad-faith engagement, or attempts to derail substantive discussion
• Publishing other participants' private information without their consent
• Proselytizing — neither for nor against the corpus's framework. The project does not ask for converts and is not interested in opposing campaigns from either direction.

Disagreement is welcome; harassment is not

The two are not the same and the project takes the distinction seriously. A reader who thinks the corpus is wrong, who thinks the Raëlian source material is fabricated, who thinks the precessional framework is forced, or who finds the project's stance on any specific question unconvincing, is welcome to say so in the public spaces. The author would rather hear an honest objection than an insincere agreement.

What is not welcome is using public spaces to attack participants for who they are, what they believe, where they come from, or what tradition they identify with. The substance is open; the people are not.

Enforcement

The author moderates the project's public spaces and reserves the right to remove content, lock threads, or block participants whose behavior violates this code. Enforcement is intended to be proportionate and transparent: a minor violation usually gets a note explaining what was off; repeated or severe violations may result in removal.

To report a violation, open an issue on the repository, or, for matters that should not be public, contact the maintainer through the channels listed in the canonical Code of Conduct on GitHub.
