Should projects include a code of conduct?

Related to #7.

The TODO code of conduct is a really great example. It seems like a worthwhile addition to the standard contributing.md file.

I think that would be a fantastic thing to provide for new and existing open-source projects spinning up in the government (and projects in general, open or closed).

The NSA provides a Community Code of Conduct for their SIMP project.

Are there other community codes of conduct that we can reference and provide to agencies as examples?

Here are the ones I'm aware of:

• TODO: used by Square, Twitter, GitHub, Box, Facebook, Yahoo
• Contributor Covenant
• NSA
• Thoughtbot

Another one for the list: npm. I really like the git history of their code and the clear contact for CoC violations at the top.

I opened a ticket at 18F/open-source-policy#38 in 18F's open source policy to see about adding a link to it in our default project boilerplate.
