I do think we have a significantly lower average age than the Linux |
| 5 |
Kernel developer group. This probably plays a significant role in how |
| 6 |
things go on around here. |

I think some gentle prodding by non-proctors (I know I'll be doing this) |
| 14 |
for people to keep on-topic might help. I'm sure it won't prevent every |
| 15 |
flame from starting, but it might help some, and at this point, we need |
| 16 |
all the help that we can get. |

We actually have revised the code to read differently. You should check |
| 24 |
it out at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/coc.xml to see how it |
| 25 |
has changed. Also, we are planning on reviewing it again prior to the |
| 26 |
next meeting. I suggest that people take suggestions/comments on the |
| 27 |
current incarnation on the gentoo-council mailing list, where it |
| 28 |
belongs. |
