Actually, I disagree that it "needs to be done". Once upon a time I helped plasmaroo craft parts of our etiquette guide, but at the time I assumed that it was a guide to help the clueless, not a rigid code that we would be putting in place (and under which one could be prosecuted). I think parts of the Ubuntu code are quite nice, but I still disagree that we _need_ it. > many thanks to the Ubuntu guys and to solar for doing the real work here: > http://dev.gentoo.org/~solar/xml/conduct.html Um, do we have permission from the authors? Some of the sentences seem to be word-for-word identical to the source. Incidentally, why drop the part about leaving the project in a considerate manner? > i dont see how anyone can be against this (unless you're a terrorist!), so > this is on track to be integrated as-is into the dev handbook Etiquette > section A few points: The "be collaborative" stanza echoes our social policy, so it's not clear that it's needed here. In any event, if we plan to use this document to extend or otherwise clarify our social policy, then I tend to think that does deserve some discussion. As for the bit about "disruptive behaviors" being "a security and stability threat to Gentoo", I assume that's Solar's contribution? It very much sounds like his mindset that security should be pre-eminent. It's certainly a valid point of view, but I don't happen to agree with it. I don't think that security should trump all else. (Incidentally, I still fail to see exactly how a tree dev whose tree access has been revoked differs from a non-developer Gentoo user. Anybody, dev or not, can submit bugs and ask devs to commit on his or her behalf.) In any event, I thought we had devrel to handle suspending devs, unless there was some sort of clear urgency that required infra to do so? Wasn't that the outcome of the recent discussions? -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76
