[odf-discuss] Proposal for Moderation of ODF discussion list

[Pete Harlow]

When SCO popped up, the FUD to the enterprise was that Linux was too
dangerous to use, that there was a legal doubt about it. Of course, it was a
manufactured "legal" doubt. Vaporware, as it turns out. That got smashed to
bits, and so now, might the new FUD be that Linux is no better than
proprietary software, that it's written by a community of infighting,
unpleasant people who can't get along, a community that might be falling
apart from within, so you'd best not risk your company on it?

So yes, moderate the list. However we must clearly state the moderating
rules so we can ensure that they are fairly applied to all.
