+# Code of Conduct
+
+These things are notoriously difficult to write and can be kind of long-winded and
+end up policing people's private lives. This is unteneble and this minimal code of 
+conduct is aimed to categorically avoid those issues.
+
+## Community Goal
+
+The goal of this community is to create improvements and make route and its 
+associated tools, resources and utilities the best they can possibly be in order to
+make route as easy, stable and reliable as possible such that it can meet almost
+any common workload you throw at it.
+
+## Act in good faith
+
+Humans make mistakes. Mistakes will be fixed after they are made (in some way or 
+another). Don't fault people for making mistakes if they are acting in good faith.
+
+## Don't make everywhere fight club
+
+People have private lives outside of this project. If something happens that isn't
+relevant to the project outside of the context of it, it is best to not make the
+project involved with it.
+
+Additionally, don't weaponize the statements in this document. It never ends well.
+
+## BDFL
+
+Christine Dodrill is the BDFL in case of all disputes that can't be solved normally.
+The decision process will either be based on their opinion, random chance, or 
+redefining things so that both options can be done if possible.
