To be honest, I listen in on many TDF/LibreOffice lists and there have 
been very few instances where a code of conduct would have been needed 
as a tool to remedy a "discipline" problem. The only place where there 
could be problems are of course on the users list when a user may show 
his/her frustration at not getting a particular part of LibreOffice to 
work as they want. Even then, almost all of users who have shown 
frustration were well received by LibreOffice members and helped as best 
as possible. We are not able to satisfy everyone, but IMO, the people 
helping out on the users mailing list are doing a formidable job.

I personally don't think we need a code of conduct.

Cheers,

Marc
