ahh, guys? ah... i'm going to try *really* hard to follow the advice that's listed here ok? http://www.pndc.com/documents/_PDF%20Text-PNDC%20WORKS.pdf it's a little challenging to do so in email, as it's specifically designed (page 6) for face-to-face conversations. following point (1) on page 6, i believe that the question i should be asking is best phrased as follows: * what was the intent behind the change to a "code of conduct"? following point (4) on page 7, a second question i believe should be phrased as follows: * whilst the "positive" list of behaviours look good on first glance, we've witnessed what happened with freebsd when they adopted a "code of conduct": would a (public) reasonable and rational discussion with a view to removing the "proscribed" list of negative behaviours be welcome? [1] l. [1] it's a little more complex than that, you get the general idea.
