## Documentation

105+
### Inclusive Language
106+
107+
- Consider that users who will read the docs are from different background and
108+
cultures and that they have different preferences.
109+
- Avoid potential offensive terms and, for instance, prefer "allow list and
110+
deny list" to "white list and black list".
111+
- We believe that we all have a role to play to improve our world, and even if
112+
writing inclusive doc might not look like a huge improvement, it's a first
113+
step in the right direction.
114+
- We suggest to refer to [Microsoft bias free writing
115+
guidelines](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/bias-free-communication)
116+
and [Google inclusive doc writing
117+
guide](https://developers.google.com/style/inclusive-documentation)
118+
as starting points.
