It should be, but I don't find this kind of comments particulary useful, since they doesn't seem to contribute to the overall discussion. I believe that a central or unique code of conduct that everyone adheres to, should be the most efficient way to go, if any particulairties are needed to be

Thomas An excellent idea, no doubt, but is multiplying codes of conduct really the best way forward? Would it not be better if the Foundation were to promulgate a single code of conduct covering all its projects and spaces, and then supplement that with individual guidelines in specific cases?
