I think 3 rules out of the page are enough:
- Be polite. Don't get personal. Don't use unacceptable language. Respect other people's freedom of choice of distributions/editors/e-mail clients/licenses. No one minds a little sense of humour though. - You may have difference of opinion with what others say. In that case, please explain your points and refrain from using derogatory words or preaching or teaching. - Be helpful to each other. IMO the rest are serving no purpose but confusing _normal_ i.e., non-FOSS people. If you agree, please +1 and we can go ahead with these and remove the rest of the page for further discussions inside the group. For our group it is much better to show a simple non-confusing face instead of a terribly correct but totally confusing face. We should simplify and friendlify (if there is such a word) our site ASAP else we stand to be continuously mis-identified. Regards, Debamitro On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 5:21 AM, A.
