Hi
The recent Gentoo mailing lists flamewar[1] leading to developers
quitting and subsequent adoption of a code of conduct[2], it might
be useful for us to proactively put in a code of conduct for all of
Fedora mandatory for all the contributors and for users as well as a
prominent note for all the mailing lists subscribers and possibly
other means. We haven't had major issues such as these but as well
as scale to more contributors it would good to have a mechanism like
this and enforce that. Comments?
I read their proposed code. While the idea behind it is basically "be
nice to each other" and that is a good thing, I don't think Fedora needs
this at the moment. I agree with spot in that I'd rather cross that
bridge when it's needed.
And I particularly dislike the whole "proctor" concept and introducing
something like seems entirely pointless and draconian at the moment.
Asking the community to agree to a code of conduct which in your own
words just reads as be nice to each others is somehow draconian? It is
not pointless when someone indulge in trolling and name calling and
few others quit contributing because of that. When we scale you can be
rest assured that such behavior will happen.
A code of conduct shows a lack of respect for the community' autonomy.
I think it ain't broke, lets not fix it. We've got far better things
that need documenting.
