I think that it is a good clause, and I hope that the document to which it could eventually belong will be a "Guidelines" one and not a code. It says what you can expect on sage-devel when writing there, and that you should not always take what is being said personnally. It also discards from the current code the idea that you will be judged not for what you say but for how you say it. Actually, re-reading the current code of conduct, it is pretty depressing. The third line is about "Communication problems and unhappiness"... Basically what it says cannot help much: everybody tries to be patient, and friendly, and considerate.. Having this in a code does not seem to lead anywhere further. The "code" should describe what sage-devel feels like, and in such a way it will be a good disclaimer to tell newcomers what to expect and how to react. If it tries to change how we already behave, well, it is a code or a law. I do not know what is the procedure now: amendments are discussed on a thread, and then added to the wiki page if people agree with it ? http://wiki.sagemath.org/SageCommunityProposal Nathann -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
