Hi Dan,

Regardless of what happens on http://dlang.org/download.html, please add it to the wiki. I've been chasing after compiler hackers to update the wiki with very little success (and then they complain how their projects are not getting enough attention etc.).

Apparently I'm in good company:

"trying to come up with some ‘code of conduct’ that says that people should be ‘respectful’ and ‘polite’ is just so much crap and bullshit”

Adding Linus to a discussion about Codes of Conduct is not so much opening a can of worms as upending a barrel of snakes.

You are not in good company tho. Even the page you link to says
nobody else could or should say stuff like that.

And attitudes like that will only disurage people from trying to
improve this community.

I did not mean that absence of a Code of Conduct is license to abuse others. Just that a CoC is itself insulting, paternalistic, and not a solution.
