+# **Code of Kodi**
+
+## **Introduction:**
+
+-   This document should hopefully be entirely common sense and how most
+    people would normally act anyway.
+-   In an ideal world it would be entirely unnecessary, but with the impersonal
+    nature of internet communications and with differing viewpoints on certain
+    sensitive topics, some guidelines have proven to be necessary at times.
+
+## **Our Aims:**
+
+-   Our primary aim is to make Kodi the best open source media player
+    product that it can be.
+
+-   To achieve this, we aim to create a supportive, welcoming and
+    open team environment where anyone can participate and submit code or
+    time/knowledge to help improve things.
+
+-   Our team environment should be welcoming and safe, free of
+    harassment, discrimination and undesirable behaviour to individual
+    or groups of members.
+
+-   Whilst we do not expect everyone to get along and agree all of the
+    time, we do expect people to be civil and professional to one
+    another.
+
+## **Our Expectations:**
+
+1. Contributions from anyone are welcome, and should be encouraged.
+    Where criticism or correction is needed, try to make it respectful,
+    constructive, supportive and positive.
+
+1. Contributors should act in the best interest of the community and of
+    the Kodi project.
+
+1. We're all volunteers -- people will give whatever time and effort
+    they wish to. No-one should be made to do anything they don't want
+    to.
+
+1. Discrimination, harassment, threatening/bullying behaviour, trolling
+    or insulting/derogatory language will not be tolerated in any form
+    via any Kodi channel or site.
+
+1. Respect the contribution and efforts of others -- treat them as
+    you'd like them to treat you.
+
+1. Publication and sharing of confidential information, both relating
+    to Kodi and to individual's personal data, is only by explicit permission
+    of the relevant information owner and person(s) concerned, as applicable.
+
+1. Work on Kodi is a team effort.
+    Individual contributions are highly appreciated and to be respected,
+    but they do not empower those contributors to make decisions
+    affecting the overall management of the project.
+
+1. If you are a team member, you may have the title of "Team Kodi Member"
+   (or variants thereof) in environments like the Kodi forum. You are of
+   course free to state your own opinions on topics, but for more
+   controversial ones, please ensure to explicitly state that what you
+   post is your own opinion and not that of the team or the project.
+
+1. Discussions, debate and disagreement are a natural part of a working
+    team. Account should be taken though for the impersonal nature of
+    internet discussions, and for things like language and cultural
+    norms. Don't be too quick to assume ill intent or to take offense,
+    and respect people's boundaries and feelings.
+
+1. Where you can, be helpful to fellow contributors and share your
+    knowledge and skills. We all have to start somewhere, and they may
+    be able to return the favour later or contribute more fully as a
+    result.
+
+1. No-one is perfect -- tolerate honest mistakes that may be made,
+    learn from them and help to repair them when you can. And if they're
+    yours, be honest about them and apologise.
+
+1. Submitted code and other important documentation will be peer
+    reviewed. Comments, suggestions and constructive criticism should be
+    taken with good grace and not as a slight or insult to the work and
+    effort put in.
+
+1. There is an over-riding principle that accepted work, postings or commits
+   should not be reverted, edited or otherwise rejected without discussion 
+   with the original author.
+
+    Recognising that changes do sometimes need to be made (for example, code
+    commits which break master compilation or simple typos that shouldn't be
+    left and forgotten), a reasonable attempt - reflecting the spirit of the
+    change/reversion - should be made to liaise with the original author prior
+    to making any modifications. If this isn't practical, it is considered good
+    practice to appropriately peer review any potential changes prior to 
+    application to minimise risks of further breakage.
+    
+1. In case of dispute the working group or the board should be asked
+    to mediate.
+
+## **Scope:**
+
+-   This code covers all services supplied by and used by Team Kodi,
+    such as:
+
+    -   The official GitHub repos.
+
+    -   The Kodi forum.
+
+    -   The Kodi wiki.
+
+    -   The Kodi Slack and IRC channels.
+
+    -   Official Kodi social media channels.
+
+    -   Devcon.
+
+-   Anyone who contributes to the Kodi project on any of these channels
+    is expected to abide by this code.
+
+## **Enforcement:**
+
+-   Violations of this code which cannot be dealt with by simple
+    discussion should be reported to the working group via conduct@kodi.tv .
+    The group will then review the issue and mediate between the parties involved.
+
+-   The identity of the reporter and where appropriate the nature of the issue
+    should remain confidential and be handled with care and sensitivity.
+
+-   The procedure upon receiving a report should be:
+
+    1.  The group should review the report, and any member directly
+        involved or having a vested interest in the outcome should
+        recuse themselves.
+
+    1.  Any public disputes or discussions should be brought to a close
+        with a clear statement that the issue is under review, and that
+        any further 3rd party comment should be directed to the group
+        via the group email address.
+
+    1.  All individuals concerned with the issue will be contacted
+        privately and an attempt made to clarify their individual
+        viewpoints and concerns. Particular emphasis on identifying and
+        resolving any misunderstandings, mistranslations or
+        misinterpretations will be made.
+
+    1.  In case of such identifications, the group will attempt to
+        mediate between the parties involved to resolve the problem if
+        possible.
+
+    1.  The behaviour of all parties involved will be reviewed, and in
+        cases where the code has been broken (e.g. harassment,
+        discrimination or aggression) further action will be discussed
+        against the individual(s) concerned.
+
+    1.  This action will depend on the severity of the transgression and
+        on the history of the individual. Some guidelines for
+        appropriate measures for team members are:
+
+        -   First offence -- a warning.
+
+        -   Second offence -- loss of privileges for a week.
+
+        -   Third offence -- loss of privileges for a month.
+
+        -   Fourth offence -- permanent revoking of privileges.
+
+        -   Final offence -- banning from all Kodi services.
+
+        -   Privileges will depend on the nature of the issue, but may
+            include team membership, GitHub repo push access, forum
+            moderator powers, wiki account access and social media
+            account access.
+            
+        For individuals that are not members of Team Kodi, there are no
+        privileges that could be revoked. Appropriate measures therefore
+        include warnings and revoking access to services such as the
+        forum or the `xbmc` organization on GitHub temporarily or
+        permanently.
+
+## **Stakeholders:**
+
+-   *Kodi Foundation Board* -- the elected five directors and management
+    of the XBMC Foundation.
+
+-   *Working Group* -- the team assigned by the board to create this
+    document and to oversee its administration.
+
+-   *Contributors* -- volunteers who give input into the upkeep and
+    improvement of Kodi and its community, be they Team Members or
+    interested third parties. This includes both code and posts made to
+    the forum, the wiki or on official social media channels.
