[kde-community] Proposals for dealing with bad behavior

[Thomas Zander]

I have no idea how I ended up on the mailinglist, but since I am I'll just comment in private.
The document looks to strike the tone that IMO makes sense. The wording in some paragraphs may need clarification, but nothing major. (well, the last part mentioning we have 4 principles may qualify).

I think if this was in place during my koffice times, I expect it would not have gotten to a split like it did. Some not-aceptable behaviour generated talks with people (not me ;)  that were marked as "horrible" by cwg members, as such giving them some 'teeth' would be great.  Accountability is required, as you know, but accountability without repurcussions is useless.

I'm gonna figure out how to unsubscribe from the list now. Have a nice day! :)
