IMO it encourages them to do so. But one of the first questions should perhaps be who would be willing to answer newcomer-questions off-list. I believe that a newcomer will learn much more with one or two mentors than by asking all the questions to the list. So the motivation is *not* to stop beginners to ask questions, but to prevent the list being flooded by questions that can be handled in a better way for all involved people. > > That's horrible. Yes it would be, would that be the intention. I'd like to repeat myself here: The intention is to keep disruptions to a minimum. > > I rather prefer a CoC. What about this? > https://confcodeofconduct.com/ Let's tackle one goal after the other. While having a CoC is a good thing, that I personally would like the PHP-Project to have, I still remember the last discussions on that topic and they were as disruptive as the current ones.... And I – again – want to quote the RFC on that: > This RFC does not propose a comprehensive Code of Conduct, which will take a significant amount > of effort to draft carefully.
