Participate but be polite
Members are encouraged to participate in any mailing list as long as
they honor Open Source principles of respect to other members and to the
project at hand. Rudeness is not acceptable. Be polite. OpenOffice.org
is an international and multi-lingual organization. For most of our
contributors, English is not even the second language. This means that
you should always read over what you write and what others write to make
sure of tone and content.
