Both of those pages could do with better explanations of the lists, in my opinion, but I'd rather the participants created them.

Addition to mailing list code of conduct as discussed on debian-user?
[I suggested the following: somebody else thought it a good idea - Andy] Agreed. It may be a good idea to add to the mailing lists code of conduct a couple of extra lines: --- A lot of questions asked on debian-user and debian-devel are asked regularly. Please consider searching using an Internet search engine and reading the mailing list archives, Debian install notes and Debian reference manual before you post. If you can't find the answer, it is very helpful to others to show that you have attempted at least some of the above and your degree of success. If you have a problem, please be prepared to give hardware/installed software and version information if requested to as part of the process of problem resolution. Politeness and precision in use of language both help to narrow down issues and constrain extraneous discussions and flame wars. If tempted to start or continue contentions threads, please consider moving these to private email or to debian-curiosa. Both debian-user and debian-devel are high-volume lists read by people worldwide: consideration should be given to the fact that the views and attitudes of others may differ from your own. --- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
