After following a lively etiquette thread yesterday, I thought I would put together a number of the comments in case the list feels like having a written set of guidelines.
The following is a draft for comment. It needs a volunteer to collate comments and edit it appropriately. If the list can agree on a final revision, maybe the list owner can post it for new list members to read before joining.
What a fantastic essay... ;-) I vote for making yours the official long version... Put it on the wiki! Here is my suggestion for a short version. *K.I.S.S = Keep it seriously simple* 1. Keep it interesting [image/button] 2. Keep it short [image/button] 3. Keep it friendly [image/button] Every point should be followed by an image/button saying "Elaborate" or "More about this subject" If you didn't notice I have substituted your: "Gain attention" with "Keep it interesting" "Be efficient" with "Keep it short" and "Don't offend" with "Keep it friendly" The text you have written under each header is fine, for now. But it should be even more extensive so after reading it all, newcomers would have no excuse to be ignorant. -- Regards Kenneth Aar
