> Count me as another +1 on that suggestion. I agree fully that having control over the page we're linking to is important. I'd even suggest that we could come up with a pretty thorough resource, documenting both things like the Geek Feminism Timeline of Incidents (which is one important type of resource), as well as documents of the kind suggested by Louis (which are regulatory, rather than descriptive). I do think, though, that it's important to include any public lists of incidents we can find, and attempt to expand our list beyond the currently-included one from Geek Feminism.

OK, so we seem to agree on the overall text but many would like the link to the external page at geekfeminism wiki replaced by a LGM-editable list of references.
Also, this page would be more useful if it referred to a wider spectrum of concrete harassment-cases than to gender-related incidents only.

Here's a start: http://piratepad.net/lgm-coc-examples

Your help/comments are much appreciated; let's publish the CoC this weekend latest?

thanks again,
