- The community values transparency and openness, with all discussions and decisions happening in the public eye.
- It is important to give back to the community by contributing code, helping with documentation, and participating in events.
- The community is not perfect, but it strives to be responsive and open to feedback and criticism.
- The community has a complex and sometimes slow process for reviewing and committing code, but this is due to the volunteer nature of the project.
- The community values diversity and inclusivity, and tries to be welcoming to people from all backgrounds and skill levels.
