After coming across (more remembering) the Code Manifesto, switched the CoC over to using it instead of the Contributor Covenant.

# Contributor Code of Conduct

As contributors and maintainers of this project, and in the interest of fostering an open and welcoming community, we
pledge to respect all people who contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation,
submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities.

We are committed to making participation in this project a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of level
of experience, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size,
race, ethnicity, age, religion, or nationality.

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

* The use of sexualized language or imagery
* Personal attacks
* Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments
* Public or private harassment
* Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic addresses, without explicit permission
* Other unethical or unprofessional conduct.

Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits,
issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct. By adopting this Code of Conduct, project
maintainers commit themselves to fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of managing this
project. Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct may be permanently removed from the
project team.

This code of conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the
project or its community.

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by opening an issue or contacting
one or more of the project maintainers.

This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant](http://contributor-covenant.org), version 1.2.0,
available at [http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/2/0/](http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/2/0/)
The PHP Mentoring Web App project adheres to [The Code Manifesto](http://codemanifesto.com)
as its guidelines for contributor interactions.

## The Code Manifesto

We want to work in an ecosystem that empowers developers to reach their
potential — one that encourages growth and effective collaboration. A space that
is safe for all.

A space such as this benefits everyone that participates in it. It encourages
new developers to enter our field. It is through discussion and collaboration
that we grow, and through growth that we improve.

In the effort to create such a place, we hold to these values:

1. **Discrimination limits us.** This includes discrimination on the basis of
race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, nationality, technology
and any other arbitrary exclusion of a group of people.
2. **Boundaries honor us.** Your comfort levels are not everyone’s comfort
levels. Remember that, and if brought to your attention, heed it.
3. **We are our biggest assets.** None of us were born masters of our trade.
Each of us has been helped along the way. Return that favor, when and where
you can.
4. **We are resources for the future.** As an extension of #3, share what you
know. Make yourself a resource to help those that come after you.
5. **Respect defines us.** Treat others as you wish to be treated. Make your
discussions, criticisms and debates from a position of respectfulness. Ask
yourself, is it true? Is it necessary? Is it constructive? Anything less is
unacceptable.
6. **Reactions require grace.** Angry responses are valid, but abusive language
and vindictive actions are toxic. When something happens that offends you,
handle it assertively, but be respectful. Escalate reasonably, and try to
allow the offender an opportunity to explain themselves, and possibly correct
the issue.
7. **Opinions are just that: opinions.** Each and every one of us, due to our
background and upbringing, have varying opinions. The fact of the matter, is
that is perfectly acceptable. Remember this: if you respect your own
opinions, you should respect the opinions of others.
8. **To err is human.** You might not intend it, but mistakes do happen and
contribute to build experience. Tolerate honest mistakes, and don't hesitate
to apologize if you make one yourself.
