I believe some guidance for new comers might be helpful. But I don't think we need strong laws. My idea would be to publish a list of trusted and respected individuals who can serve as point of contact and can moderate or escalate as needed. Ideally those individuals come from different cultures as I believe most conflicts come from cultural background (i.e. "politeness" vs "directness") and language barrier (English isn't a native language for most of us leading to double interpretation ...) and can be solved with some guidance ... johannes
