P5.js: document: no new features except those that increase access

Created on 6 Jun 2020  ·  7Comments  ·  Source: processing/p5.js

At our most recent contributors conference, we made a commitment to not add any new features except those that increase access (meaning, inclusion and/or accessibility). This was intended not to shut down contributions, but to open up more conversations about what access means, and how we can continue to prioritize it. It would be great to get a write up / explanation of this in this repo so we can understand and apply it more easily. I think @outofambit wrote some text around this already we could start with. The doc could live in the contributor_docs section.

Great thank you @outofambit! Let's also link to this from our CONTRIBUTING.md file so it's easily found.

@outofambit I'd be happy to help 👯‍♀️ lmk when you have something we can look at

@outofambit not trying to rush you, but just wanted to offer... if it's helpful for a few of us to get in a sync doc situation and hash it out i'm happy to help

@lmccart that would be great, thank you! 🙏🏼 what did you have in mind?
(i started a draft here but i'm not sure if the tone is right.)

@outofambit I'm up for anything. what you have drafted looks great! happy to get on a call or live chat to workshop this further. I can also just leave comments on a PR or doc if that's easier.

@lmccart thanks! since it doesn't seem way off base, i opened a PR #4676 and i would love your and @lm-n 's feedback, thoughts, and revisions!
