IX-Vahdat is a humanitarian water-resilience proof-of-concept. The project should remain serious, respectful, evidence-first, and safety-bound.
Contributors and participants are expected to:
- communicate respectfully
- preserve humanitarian intent
- stay factual
- identify uncertainty clearly
- avoid exaggeration
- avoid political targeting
- avoid country-specific prescriptions
- respect local authority and community review
- treat water safety as high consequence
- prioritize human review over software confidence
Unacceptable behavior includes:
- harassment or threats
- discriminatory language
- knowingly false technical claims
- fake data or fake field measurements
- unsafe water-safety claims
- pressure to remove review gates
- pressure to bypass local public-health or engineering review
- turning the project toward weapon, surveillance, or coercive use
- using the project to target a population, nation, agency, or group
- presenting synthetic examples as real deployment evidence
Technical disagreement is welcome.
When disagreeing, focus on:
- evidence
- assumptions
- test behavior
- risk boundaries
- failure modes
- review requirements
- safety consequences
Do not attack contributors personally.
IX-Vahdat should support drought-stressed and infrastructure-stressed communities generally.
It should not become:
- a geopolitical directive
- a propaganda tool
- a sanction-bypass tool
- a military project
- an intelligence project
- a replacement for local governance
- a replacement for public-health authority
Maintainers may close, reject, or revert contributions that violate the project’s safety boundaries, humanitarian scope, or respectful collaboration expectations.
The safest default is simple:
When water, public health, infrastructure, or emergency reserves are involved, software should hold or block unless evidence and human review are strong enough to continue.
