Posting guidelines#
Someone suggested the rule "If you wouldn't say it to your Mom, don't post it here." But "mom" includes Dilbert's mom who can tell the difference between packet-routing networks and circuit-switching networks, and is, in general a bigger geek than Dilbert. So the only rules are:
- All postings must be civil.
- Off-topic posts must be humorous and not dominate the group.
How to create a new forum#
Propose the new forum with a posting to
OSMeta and ask for comments. When a consensus is reached a project admin will create the group. Do the same if you think an existing group's mandate should be changed.
