To that end, we are going to propose that Planet have a participation
policy including words to the effect that "in discussing contentious or
personal topics outside of Mozilla's mission, please consider
invitations
to conversation welcome, position statements not, and exercise your
judgement with the growth of a kind and inclusive community in mind."
Further, that we ask Planet's participating authors to:
- add a "mozilla" tag to posts that are relevant to Mozilla, so that
it's
explicit that their inclusion in Planet is deliberate, and
- when addressing the community on a topic others may find challenging,
that there be a brief disclaimer at the top of those posts outlining the
contents. We intend to provide boilerplate text and HTML snippets people
can paste into posts to make that as painless as possible, though people
can always roll their own.
Our hope is that this small up-front investment will lead to Planet's
content being generally more focused without costing anyone the
opportunity
to learn about, learn from and grow with other Mozillians who share
their
values or beliefs.
Focused on what? Planet's were not created with the idea of being focused
on any specific content or topic but instead were created to give a
glimpse
into the lives of people who work on a Open Source project.
That's not always true. It depends on the project. Many projects demand
or suggest you use a specific tag/category feed for their planet.
Right but they do not try and tell you what content is appropriate or not
and that is the major distinction here. I think Gerv has made some good
discussion on this although it seems his replies were split into a
different thread.
That already happened when team blogs where considered to be
inappropriate for planet proper.
