Wow, need to watch this mailing list more closely! What an interesting week. A few thoughts FWIW: * I've no objection to the wording changes proposed. Having said that, it strikes me as a little meaningless. How welcoming we are as a community will show in our actions.

I'm concerned that a CoC will open up HPR to the kind of legal action that would destroy it. A CoC is a contract explicit and implied. Once it's out there, expect the lawyers to begin circling waiting to feed on HPR's impending demise. If someone is making Ad Hominem attacks towards you, that
