Reading this again I missed a few obvious pieces:

        * Listen before speaking
                + get to know the people you're interacting with on the
                  lists before sending mail
                + in particular, attempting to explain things to people
                  that are experts already has the potential to make
                  both you look very foolish, and provoke a bad
                  reaction. Check the git logs.

        * Don't tell people what to do
                + volunteers often react quite badly to being told what
                  to do; instead of telling others - start doing it
                  yourself and encourage others to join you.

        I guess, just common-sense for beginners - but no harm in writing it
down :-)

        Thanks,

                Michael.
