## Incubation Notice
This project is a Hyperledger project in _Incubation_. It was proposed to the community and documented [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E2i5GRqWsIag7KTxjQ_jQdDiWcuikv3KqXeuw7NaceM/edit), and was approved by [Hyperledger TSC at 2017-01-07](https://lists.hyperledger.org/pipermail/hyperledger-tsc/2017-January/000535.html). Information on what _Incubation_ entails can be found in the [Hyperledger Project Lifecycle document](https://goo.gl/4edNRc).

## Inclusive Language Statement

These guiding principles are very important to the maintainers and therefore
we respectfully ask all contributors to abide by them as well:

- Consider that users who will read the docs are from different backgrounds and
cultures and that they have different preferences.
- Avoid potential offensive terms and, for instance, prefer "allow list and
deny list" to "white list and black list".
- We believe that we all have a role to play to improve our world, and even if
writing inclusive documentation might not look like a huge improvement, it's a
first step in the right direction.
- We suggest to refer to
[Microsoft bias free writing guidelines](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/bias-free-communication)
and
[Google inclusive doc writing guide](https://developers.google.com/style/inclusive-documentation)
as starting points.
