Woh! So cool that you're working on this!
Here are some comments, on top of a5ee62c86d.
- In "By developing Tails and publishing related documentation": "and
publishing related documentation" sounds like an addendum and I wonder
if 1. "documentation" is the only "non-developing" work that we do., 2.
we could find a more generic phrasing to make the whole sentence
shorter. Maybe "By working on Tails"? or "By creating Tails". And, as a
doc writer, I already feel myself included in "By developing Tails".
- "advance these concepts.": intrigeri didn't like "rights" but now I
feel like "concepts" is too neutral. What about "ideals"? or "principles"?
- "the tools we write and deploy," → "the tools we create" could be
shorter and less code-centric, no?
- "2. Tails and the related documentation". same, I'm not sure doc is
worth the periphrasis.
- "do our best to write secure code", this time I feel like this is a
bit too code-centric. Usability issues can also lead to insecure tools.
And I'm not sure to understand what "and make the right decisions."
refers to (on top of "do our best to"). So maybe this could be changed
to "We will always do our best to create secure and usable tools."?
- How does this document relate to the Code of Conduct? Should there be
cross-references between the two? Maybe in "4. We encourage
participation and transparency"? I don't mind proposing a wording if you
think it's a good idea.
Most of this is nitpicking, so feel free to take whatever you want and
silently ignore the rest :)
