Privacy, data protection, and open source development
summary
Proposes an open-source privacy best-practice standard grounded in eleven common values rather than a specific law, and demonstrates concrete work: data minimization and other principles mapped to development workflows, documentation and project guidelines; core contributions in WordPress: a privacy notice builder, export and delete tools, and hooks for plugins like WooCommerce; governance choices include named maintainers, scoped roadmaps, clear constraints, and an explicit prohibition on claiming a plugin makes a site compliant.
