> 1. Be respectful to others and of their opinions, *always*.
> 2. Try and understand other contributor's perspective. If you require more
>    detail or information about a particular item, it is *your* responsibility
>    to ask or research on your own.
> 3. Always believe everyone wants to do the best for the project.
> 4. Before posting anything or replying on ML/Forum take a moment before hitting
>    send to ask yourself the following:
>     a. Are you saying anything which might offend anyone either intentionally
>        or unintentionally (as a result of language barriers or otherwise)?
>     b. Is this post going to benefit the discussion or project?
>     c. Have these things been said or discussed already?
>     d. Are the statements I'm making informed, or are they based on my own
>        opinions and assumptions?
>     e. Is what you are posting a suggestion, solution or a problem? If it is
>        the third do not hit 'Send'; start a new topic asking if this problem
>        can be addressed instead.
> 5. Before making any suggestions, please ask yourself the following questions:
>     a. Is what I'm suggesting really going to benefit the project?
>     b. Is what I'm suggesting really the best solution for the project's needs?
>     c. Is there another viable alternative to what I'm suggesting?
>     d. Is what I'm suggesting feasible to establish and maintain?
>     e. If it is not currently feasible, what would be required to implement it?
> 6. Please stick to the topic at hand.
> 7. If you are experiencing a problem, please check the FAQ first to see is
