Django code of conduct - last line

[Graham Oliver]

Hello all
Just reading the code of conduct https://www.djangoproject.com/conduct/
The last line goes like this

'Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere, rather offer to help resolving issues and to help learn from mistakes.'

I don't really understand the 'rather offer to help resolving issues and to help learn from mistakes.'

Anyone got a view on what this means and/or a better way to express it?

Cheers

I think if you change the word 'resolving' to 'resolve', it may make
more sense..

To my mind it means something along the lines of:

if someone says something sexist, instead of jumping on them and eviscerating them publicly, we take them aside and explain that that type of language is against the CoC, is inappropriate, and ask them to not do it again. Even so far as to offer supplementary  readings/texts/opportunities to discuss.

Then, if the behaviour is repeated in a non accidental manner (reconstruction is hard, mistakes are made!), we probably warn or ask them to leave the space.

That would be my reading.

Thank you, so how about

'Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere.
Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes'

I think this is an improvement in clarity and style over the current
wording. Please see https://www.djangoproject.com/conduct/changes/ for
the process to make changes to the Code (short version: send a pull
request to http://github.com/django/djangoproject.com).
