Here are some links to discussions that look to me have gone astray. Also, as you might notice that some of the participants in these discussions have since ceased to post on the public mailing lists, even though they were active contributors/developers before: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/SnPfidRM9j8 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-combinat-devel/YRc1GWa3XBg https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/IxzCVWYsg60 If we want to avoid that discussions drift off to private mailing lists or to loose contributors, as we all seem to agree is not desirable, then I think guidelines for discussions would be helpful. Also, Sage already has rules in place. For example, patches can only be merged after a review process and the author cannot be the reviewer. We all strive to adhere to these rules. So why not guidelines for how we should conduct discussion since in my view, some of them do go out of hand. And whoever shouts loudest is not always the one who is right.
