Re: [OSList] re honouring each other

[Harold Shinsato]

Karen, thanks, I'd like to echo that request and my preferences would also be to have some standards for civility. I'd still like to have a community managed portal with open standards, and I'm hoping the community will get behind it - but it sounds terribly unappealing without what you're asking for. I can't believe that it has to be an either/or - but maybe the conditions aren't fully in place yet to make the next step.
