Announcing the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines

Richard Stallman has released an initial version of the GNU KindCommunications Guidelines, and asks all GNU contributors to make theirbest efforts to follow these guidelines in GNU Project discussions. "The idea of the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines is to start guidingpeople towards kinder communication at a point well before one wouldeven think of saying, "You are breaking the rules." The way we dothis, rather than ordering people to be kind or else, is try to helppeople learn to make their communication more kind.I hope that kind communication guidelines will provide a kinderand less strict way of leading a project's discussions to be calmer,more welcoming to all participants of good will, and more effective."
