I agree that a CoC is not necessarily something that will *actively* help with outreach to the groups that Murray suggested, but it is an extremely useful statement nonetheless. I guess I'll just fall back on the evidence as I've seen it - the Ubuntu Code of Conduct has communicated a very strong statement of intent, and ensured (not "made" but "ensured") that the Ubuntu community is a great place to be. But cf. my email about why GNOME people stick around - I totally object to the suggestions that a Code of Conduct is only needed in desperate times. That's poppycock. - Jeff -- GUADEC 2006: Vilanova i la GeltrĂș, Spain http://2006.guadec.org/ "jwz? no way man, he's my idle" - James Wilkinson _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
