+# Inkwell Code of Conduct
+
+*Note: This is not a legal document.*
+
+The Inkwell team is committed to the following rules:
+
+* Treat everyone fairly.
+* Be kind and respectful to others.
+* Judge technical problems and solutions, not people.
+* Use polite language.
+* In case of disagreement use arbitrage of position of authority and responsibility (eg. project owner).
+
+We expect others to follow these rules as well.
