When I read your mail, I tried to think which recent incidents you were referring to. I could only think of cases where non-contributors have been disrespectful of contributors. As far as I can tell, Qt Project contributors' interaction with each other is not a problem. Having a code of conduct may anyway be a good thing, but I don't think it would have made a difference to the behavior from non-contributors I think you're referring to in your mail. No matter what you do, jerks will be jerks.... _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
