Those are good points. My biggest concern is long-term conduct. I wish |
19 |
we had some way to get data on how many people actually get emailed |
20 |
privately vs on-list. |

I think that emailing people off-list is the safest approach. The |
23 |
problem with it is that it doesn't show anyone else reading the list |
24 |
what is unacceptable behavior. |

|
26 |
Emailing people on-list is riskier, because it can humiliate them to |
27 |
some extent, but it does have the benefit of publicly teaching people |
28 |
the standards of our project. |

What do you think of that? |
