# Etiquette

In the WordPress open source project, we realize that our biggest asset is the community
that we foster. The project, as a whole, follows these basic philosophical principles
from [The Cathedral and The Bazaar](http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-bazaar/index.html).

 * Contributions to the WordPress open source project are for the benefit of the
   WordPress community as a whole, not specific businesses or individuals. All actions
   taken as a contributor should be made with the best interests of the community
   in mind.
 * Participation in the WordPress open source project is open to all who wish to
   join, regardless of ability, skill, financial status, or any other criteria.
 * The WordPress open source project is a volunteer-run community. Even in cases
   where contributors are sponsored by companies, that time is donated for the benefit
   of the entire open source community.
 * Any member of the community can donate their time and contribute to the project
   in any form including design, code, documentation, community building, etc. For
   more information, go to [make.wordpress.org](https://make.wordpress.org/).
 * The WordPress open source community cares about diversity. We strive to maintain
   a welcoming environment where everyone can feel included, by keeping communication
   free of discrimination, incitement to violence, promotion of hate, and unwelcoming
   behavior.
