I've actually removed some comments about not using HTML text and wrapping lines at 80 characters etc, because it's less related to how we behave towards one another; this similarly feels less related. In addition, the point was raised that perhaps we should not limit the scope of the code of conduct to just our mailinglists; that it should also encompass other forms of communication within Debian. This holds some merit, I suppose, and would make it even less related than it is today. To do all this, I've been considering splitting it all up into several pieces: - One bit which would be the actual "code of conduct" and which would be as independent as possible of the medium used. This would only be about "conduct", not about form. - Perhaps some bits to go into "further reading" and/or a "technical section", which would (amongst other things) contain instructions on form (as opposed to actual content). This could contain the comments about not using HTML and attachments, and presumably also could have some language on proper quoting. However, it wouldn't be part of the CoC proper (because it's about form, not about conduct). Doing that will take some time, though, so it will probably take a few days for me to come up with that. > On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 10:52:42AM +0200, Wouter Verhelst wrote: >> 6.

I'm also not sure it matters all that much. -- This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space.
