Which simply means that calling other people in on potentially problematic 
behaviour shouldn’t fall under your job description. No biggie!

Agreed.

I guess what confuses me about this whole discussion/thread — starting with the 
Salzburg "roundtable", really — is how quickly it appears to escalate from 
"let’s collaboratively design an ecosystem where everyone can be in their 
Zone(s) of Genius as often as possible with the least number of obstacles" to 
"guess I gotta leave" (Mike’s already withdrawn to a certain degree, Han-Wen 
has said a few things in that direction, you’re talking about the conditions of 
leaving the project, etc.).

If that’s really the atmosphere around our beloved ’Pond, (a) it shouldn’t 
surprise anyone that the developer pool is so small and tenuous, and (b) I 
can’t personally see how any CoC could possibly solve the fundamental issue(s).

Just my 2¢, for what it’s worth given the exchange rate.
Kieren.
