General Community

You can be a part of the general community, learning and sharing with other members:

View the project board and file issues

The Project Board is where we track the work being done for the Inclusive Naming Initiative. You can also file issues for work you’d like to see or open questions you have via the inclusivenaming/org repository .

Make changes in your projects

Use the resources we’ve compiled so far–the Word replacement list , Implementation path , and the Language evaluation framework –and start making changes in your own projects! This is the most impactful way to get involved and help us achieve our goal as an initiative.
