It seems extremely wrong to me. I think it gives the wrong impression - that we're sufficiently dysfunctional that we have to have our code of conduct so prominently displayed. I think it's aimed at the wrong audience as well - reading it it's aimed at people already in the community, which doesn't fit with an about page. > Peter, what would you say in the About page about what OpenSolaris *isn't*? For example, it's not Solaris. And it's not a way of getting free support. And it's not OpenSolaris, either. (I don't envy whoever has to come up with the explanation of how OpenSolaris [the community and development project] and OpenSolaris [the nascent distro] are and aren't related.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
