- Add flexibility guidance for adapting templates to different project types
- Create changelog in docs/ directory tracking v1.0.0 to v1.1.0
- Update all documentation references to use CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
The policy now better follows GitHub best practices while maintaining focus on productive technical collaboration.

Just like our favorite fast-food meme reminds us, this repository has a specific purpose: **practical policy frameworks for focused technical collaboration**.
10
+
11
+
We're not here to:
12
+
- Debate the philosophical implications of contribution boundaries
13
+
- Discuss the greater socioeconomic ramifications of focused collaboration
14
+
- Solve world peace through pull request templates
15
+
16
+
We ARE here to:
17
+
- Make technical projects more focused and productive
18
+
- Provide practical templates and guidance
19
+
- Help maintainers avoid burnout from off-topic discussions
