We're evolving the governance features of karrot and looking for examples of existing community guidelines, rules, agreements, etc.

There's a culture of tech that is about humans interacting with machines. As if it's only a logical/technical activity. No room for emotions and all that soft stuff.
Then another culture of "tech" that's really about rich people extracting wealth (via data) from other people. Harnessing tech for some goal.
I want the culture of tech, where it's about people interacting with people, with an unobtrusive technology layer to facilitate an essentially human activity. Tech as a supporting tool.
shop talk / php / recommendations welcome
