The GNOME community has recently started a discussion on the adoption of a code of conduct for community members. While a number of people clearly think that such a code makes sense, others are just as clearly uncomfortable with the idea. The free software community is traditionally an open and unregulated group.

And courtesy, and bit of respect? I dunno, that's pretty radical.
Except for folks outside the US, who are often appalled at the nastiness that some FOSS communities seem to thrive on. I don't know about having official codes of conduct, but a lot of folks could sure use a bit of manners-coaching. Or a good clop in the head, more likely. :)
