What you seem to not understand, Volker, is that Sage has grown far beyond a US project. So, "a code of conduct is an American thing" is not a good argument for having a code of conduct. And to repeat it since you seem to ignore it: Some people (I think I have not been the only one) see the clear possibility that in future we will behave less nicely towards each other *because* of a code of conduct. I did not want a code of conduct *because* I want a civilised atmosphere in the Sage community. And you may notice that some of the recent posts here already went into the direction of instrumenting the questionable authority of a code of conduct in order to bash people, assuming that people have bad intentions when they just did an awkward translation. That's a very bad symptom, IMHO! > Also, during the lengthy discussion there were very few concrete actionable > suggestions for changes. Yes there was. The suggestion to delete the code of conduct was very concrete. Best regards, Simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
