Hi, it's been some time now that I notice several people being insulted or provoked while contributing to Fedora. One of the possible reasons I see in that is the CoC [1] (Code of Conduct) missing several important items and most of all the impossibility to enforce its content when a contributor infringes it. While punishing someone (i.e suspending his/her FAS account for example) is definitely not the way to go in a polite community like Fedora, I would love writing down together with any other community member interested a reviewed CoC document. That said, I would like to point out a few other things: 1. the CoC's location should definitely be a page under the fedoraproject.org's domain (i.e fp.org/code-of-conduct), and not just a two-line wiki page. The CoC is an important document and deserves better publicity and openness. 2. any Fedora contributor before starting his/her contributions should be prompt to accept the CoC like we currently do with the FPCA, I am pretty much sure not everyone out there ever saw the page at [1]. 3. as I outlined above punishing someone is not the way go, anyway I think taking in front of the Board any of the borderline cases should be a must. (i.e if a contributor breaks the rules several times and gets warned, an action must be taken to avoid the repetition of further infringements) Feedback's welcome. cheers, Andrea [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_working_group/Code_of_Conduct
