I have thought for a while on whether we needed rules of conduct about this mailing list. So far I thought we did not and it has worked out pretty well. Nevertheless, I should clarify what I think this list has done for us, and what to do to continue work.
1) This is the place where some people ask questions 2) This is the place where some people provide the answers 3) This is the place where some people suggest and discuss new features 4) This is the place where potential bugs are preliminary reported in order to be confirmed. Everything else is noise. It will not be banned but should be minimized. We have been lucky that almost all bugs reported were in trunk version and related to new features. In fact we add more new features per week than we have bug reports. So please: - Do not assume you know more than others. - Try keep your messages short and to the point - Do not repeat your point or complain because you do not like the answer - Do not respond to your own posts unless you found yourself the answer to your problem - Do not tell others what they should be do or not do. - If you have personal complaints send them directly to the person in question (including me). Do not make personal complains in public. - You want something done? Ask on the list. If it is recognized to be important somebody will eventually do it (perhaps me, perhaps somebody else). - If you think you are a contributor, ask yourself. What are the areas I am responsible for? What have delivered so far? What am I going to do to deliver in those areas?Did I remember to email Massimo a signed copy of the contributor agreement? - Be aware that there are a lot of new users here and your comments may be interpreted in different ways by people with different degrees of web2py experience. Try be responsible and think how your comments may be interpreted by new users. - No question is a stupid question. No answer is detailed enough. I spent quite some time writing this email while I could have spent the time applying one of the few remaining patches. IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO COMMENT ABOUT THIS THREAD YOU ARE *NOT* GETTING THE POINT. And no. This this is not about anyone in particular. Just general random thoughts.
