Add a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file to the main repos in the TC39 org

[leobalter]

We should add a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file pointing to this Code of Conduct document in each of the main repo of the TC39 org on GitHub.

• ecma262
• ecma402
• Test262
• Reflector
• tc39-notes
• proposals
• agendas
• process-document
• code-of-conduct (this one as well)

I'm certainly missing more repos here, please let me know and I'll add.

@maggiepint can you help me with this?

Is a link not sufficient? Imagine the pain of updating all of those repos if we update the policy. And the problems/risks associated with forgetting to update one.

[leobalter]

my idea is only creating the file as GitHub handles it and the contents should just be a link to this repo/generated html pages.

[littledan]

Good idea, thanks for following up on this. Should each proposal repository have a similar .md file? It could go in https://github.com/tc39/template-for-proposals . cc @ljharb

[leobalter]

I believe so, as long as the file contains a quick link to this document. Otherwise, as pointed by @michaelficarra, it will become a nightmare to maintain more content from different repos.

[ljharb]

I think that whatever we decide should definitely go in the template.

However, I agree very strongly with #35 (comment) - we should have a file that merely links to the single source of truth for the CoC.

In our CoC committee meeting today, we took a pass at this file (see this gist) - once it is approved by the rest of the committee we can add it to those repos!

Can we create a bot that automatically makes a PR to any org repo that lacks a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file?

I'm fine with it, but I would have to learn how to do this.

[littledan]

I'd be fine with adding such a bot, though among TC39 bot priorities, I'd say the project to to up the IP management bot is more important. If anyone is interested in working on bots, I bet Thomas Wood could use a collaborator on that.

PRs have been opened on ecma262, Reflector, proposals, agendas, and code-of-conduct.
I'm awaiting permission to open PRs on ecma402, test262, and tc39-notes.
I'm unclear how to proceed on process-document since it's a GH page? cc @bterlson

[jorydotcom]

Update: PRs open for everything except the process document.
