Hi,
Interesting discussion folks, thanks. We're a little concerned that some
of the messages may be perceived as not very respectful. You know, and
probably are yourself affected, how it is hard to find new contributions
in Debian and how it is important to have welcoming messages for new
contributors, who start discovering a team through archives of the
mailing list.
Please try to moderate your tone and not be too argumentative - maybe
ask people to explain their ideas more if they don't seem to fit with
your own? The question form is a good way to express some
misunderstanding or enable someone to explicit one's point of view.
An interesting practice might be not to reply to mails imediately after
reading if angry. Sending a less emotional mail can be more suitable to
maintain a high quality of the technical debate.
Best regards
For the community team
