I'm mostly absent myself for some time now, so I have no idea how bad it recently became but some comments: RFC 1855[1] exists, even though it is just an "FYI" and not an official accepted standard. I don't believe extra rules are needed, but maturity by the majority of the participants is, so i.e. if discussions become personal or anything don't go to the same level but continue the discussion on a "sane" topic etc. Also it would be great if there were people to moderate discussions - not in the meaning of "pre censorship" but by collecting arguments into summaries, stepping in (on- and even more off-list) if discussions fade away to bring them back on topic etc. such a thing takes a hell lot of time and bring the individual even less merits than most other form of contributions but can help the community a lot! johannes [1] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
