Isn't that already covered by the manifesto ? Are we really thinking
that people need a law to be polite ?

How does that scale on the web ? The web is global , which code of law
applies and how do we decide which one we follow ? Some things will make
sense in countries yy and zz but will not at all in tt and hh.

Private correspondence ? How can then that correspondence be labelled
private ? I come from a culture where you'll say plenty of bad things in
private , and then be done with it. If I can't let my feeling go away by
expressing them when I have them I'll certainly feel like I'm not part
of the "community" and will leave.

I'd like to be way more open. I don't like the list at all. We shouldn't
try to pinpoint who (ie listing things that define humans on the way
they act) , and put more focus on how people should interact with one
another.

How does a new comer do that ? How do they find a trusted person. How
will they trust.

That being said I really think that the Manifesto covers all this
already - I don't see how adding some police infrastructure is going to
make it easier and friendlier to interact in the mozilla space.

if we can't trust people for what they say or think or the way they
behave, why would we trust of accept what they want to contribute ?
