I voted against the code of conduct, as I did not feel it was well thought out. Nothing has changed my mind about that - in fact the discussions just seem to reinforce my view. But that aside, I respect the decision of a majority.
I always felt it was bad to have Sage developers making decisions based on submissions to sage-abuse. When William listed the 12 "top" contributors and suggested making them the people for sage-abuse, I said I wanted no part of it, despite I just got into that list as #`12. While I am all for openly sharing ideas and code, it is unreasonable to expect everything to be open. Since there is going to be a way of reporting someone for bad behavior, I think there is a valid argument for that being done privately. Having a list readable to anyone is likely to lead to considerable bad feeling for both those reporting abuse, and those accused of it. I know a few people wanted that list publicly viewable. I do understand their reasons, and there are some advantages in that. But there are some pretty serious disadvantages too. Soon I can see two lists being producing a) The number of times each individual has complained. This could be used to imply they are overly sensitive. b) The number of times an individual has been complained about. I think both would be bad. I wonder how man-hours have been spent on this code of conduct? Far too many I feel. Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
