There have been some learnings along the way; as an example, the draft emphasises also the role of ‘normal’ procedures (such as code of conduct, mailing list management, etc). As for the experiences from something more in the category that this draft can deal with… I don’t have a lot of data to make conclusions. The numbers are very small, fortunately. There is some anecdotal data that talking about the issue in the community, having a person that you can reach out to, and making it clear that some things are inappropriate is helpful. There is also a learning curve for the people involved in the process (myself included). And I think we’ve learned a few things on how we respond to experiences that people talk to us about. I’m not sure we can yet draw much more conclusions. I think we have some basis for believing that the answer to your question zero is a yes, but the others we’ll have to tackle further down the road.
