I'm speaking as a volunteer, not as WMF staff, if that matters to you. Adrian Raddatz wrote: > It should be pretty darn easy to make a policy on user interactions > within technical spaces.

That's what a Code of Conduct is. :) It would be wonderful if it were as easy as you describe, but it hasn't proven to be. It's taking longer because the WMF/Board did not initially take the approach of applying this 'top-down' style to the technical spaces.Those of us who have been involved (some, like myself before we became staff) want to do it with community involvement and with thoughtful discussion. Are we going to get it right the first time around? No, maybe not. Are we trying to design something with thoughtfulness and flexibility? Yes.

One could also argue that a disregard for common sense is exactly what permits individuals to violate our shared expectations of community behavior.
