This makes me think of when we changed firstboot in Fedora 7 related to the Fedora EULA. [1] The bottom line of that activity was that we no longer required the user to *AGREE* to/with anything, merly to *ACKNOWLEDGE* having been presented with some information. This feels like a similar scenario. I like the idea of showing people that these documents exist, and even making sure folks see those documents as part of the FAS account creation/CLA signing process. But I think it's courting disaster to put in some logic that forces a contributor to *agree* with the wording. It invites people to come up with clever ways to troll and game the system. Create the documents. Publicize the documents in different channels, and in ways that new and old contributors will see them. Make it clear that these are ground rules. But don't start tallying up a list of people who have specifically chosen to agree or not to agree. --Max [1] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/advisory-board/2007-May/003235.html _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
