Well, there is: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_working_group/CoC_Enforcement which lists out a process to try and resolve conflicts. > 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.

It would be nice if it was a easy to find link, well indexed and not in the wiki burried. ;) Suggestion: if the Board agrees, file a ticket with websites to add it. > 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]. We could do this if the Board would like, but personally I am against having people agree to it. Its not an agreement. I do agree that displaying a link to it and asking the user to read it would be good. This was suggested when it was setup, but we never got around to it. ;( Suggestion: If the Board agrees, file a ticket with the fas project to add a link to the document. >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.

If you cannot solve the problem yourself, and you cannot get it solved in the group/sig where it's happening, then the next step is the Board. > Feedback's welcome. > > cheers, > > Andrea Just my 2 cents. ;) kevin
