as a few developers have wondered...
how is our project to judge, report and punish coc violations?
since we had a vote to approve of the COC, we will probably need
another vote to approve of the COC rules.
do you want group consensus?
how big of a group? whos in the group?
who wants to do a bunch of crapwork telling devs to be nice in the
sandbox and stop throwing sand at each other or they'll get a timeout?
do you want irc/ml admins to handle it? e.g. lou and me set moderation
flags on developers and delete mails that are not development related?
who judges the judges?
what if we scare off devs who get frustrated that the COC was not fully
fairly applied to everyone? e.g. one dev gets moderated while another
skates ? thats where the strife gains momentum.
thoughts?
I think it would be best to set this aside for now. I think the reason
things flared up again is nothing was ever resolved the last time around
("Re: [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/2] opus_pvq: add resynth support and band
encoding cost function"), and instead, it just sort of died down. There
was such animosity displayed on that thread from specific individuals
towards other specific individuals. No one benefits from that, least of
all the people writing it or the people being targeted. I know what it
is like to be in an environment in which co-workers basically hate each
other, and it isn't pleasant, and I think it is reasonable to consider
other people on this e-mail list as sort of co-workers.
Perhaps what would be helpful would be to get these individuals together
on a private IRC channel with someone who perhaps knows both of them to
neutrally moderate and have them air their differences and ideally come
to some sort of resolution and move forward. Its one thing to fire off
an e-mail--its another to say things to someone's "face", so to speak.
I'd also suggest, when passions are up, to step aside and then maybe
come back to it later.
