Hi All,

Since the volume of posts on our mailing lists seems to be steadily increasing, I wonder if we should evolve guidelines for posting in the lists along the lines of the Fedora one [1]. It could be useful for new entrants in the community to understand our mailing list etiquette.

If we think it is a good idea to evolve this artifact and don't find anything in the fedora guidelines objectionable, I would be happy to port it for Gluster :).

Thanks,
Vijay

+1. Specially I agree with Fedora guideline about "Top posting ". It is really inconvenient to go through a long mail thread when people do "Top posting" [2].

Fedora mailing list guidelines has link to following pdf [1]. It actually covers most of the things in a precise way. Just putting it here in case you missed it in the original wiki page.
