Android WebView Community Guidelines

Purpose of the android-webview-dev mailing list

android-webview-dev is a public mailing list for Android WebView technical development. This is intended to be a way to foster open source collaboration and have discussions about technical changes to the Android WebView open source code.

This mailing list is not intended to be a way of reporting bugs, making feature requests, etc. Those topics are better raised by reporting a bug in WebView or on another public form.

Code of conduct

The android-webview-dev mailing list is part of the chromium project and thus it follows the chromium code of conduct. Please familiarize yourself with the code of conduct. All discussions on this list must follow this policy.

Moderation

Simply put, community discussions should be:

  • Respectful and kind;
  • About Android WebView or Chromium;
  • About features and code, not the individuals involved.

At our discretion, we will moderate posts which are spam, offensive, or violate the code of conduct. This may include (but is not limited to):

  • Unsolicited advertisements
  • Newsletters
  • Offers for products or services
  • Rude or offensive language

The goal of moderation is to cut down on spam and ensure discussions follow the code of conduct. This mailing list is an important feedback channel and we do not want moderation to silence legitimate feedback. In particular, we aim to allow posts which are:

  • Any post which is on-topic for this mailing list.
  • One-time mistakes. Ex. if someone contacts the mailing list with complaints about a software defect, we may (at our discretion) allow the post but inform the poster that the bug tracker is a more appropriate forum for such a topic.
  • Feedback or criticism of WebView functionality. We value both positive and critical feedback from the community about WebView functionality, however please remember that this feedback must be respectful and should be on the topic of features and code.
