This is a slightly reworked version of the original Ubuntu Code of Conduct. The primary difference is the change from "you" to "we" - I think it makes more sense in Fedora to make it an inclusive set of guidelines rather than sounding like externally imposed rules. I also left out the sections that are more about project stewardship than interpersonal behaviour, and added a new paragraph on the importance of assuming good faith when faced with disagreement. I also added an introduction that's Fedora-specific.
Thoughts?
Per the meeting the other day...
Perhaps we could add (from http://freenode.net/catalysts.shtml) something like:
"Be Open-minded. It's easy to make assumptions about other people's motivations. When you decide someone is behaving maliciously, you've made an assumption about their motivation which may be difficult to disprove. Try to make your assumptions about other people's motivations as positive as possible."
