Hi,
just a couple of thoughts:

I suppose we'll need some policy regarding @inkscape.org accounts. Suggestions?
- Hooking up moderation with a shared sender email address, and copies of all communication sent to the other members, would probably be enough for the moderation part, I think. Moderators would get access to that automatically via the web interface.
- For the more official mail addresses, I'm not sure what we need and what should be the rules. Maybe something like webmaster@, press@(?), contact@ (do we want that? We have the lists...), ... and have those accessible to the corresponding group of people who are sharing the responsibility for that area. There already is a contact form hidden on the website, which is linked from some of the registration pages, for the case that someone can't register. I think currently Martin gets those mails. Maybe even a more accessible contact form could be enough...
I don't think we need personal email addresses, unless maybe the board members want their own to use for official communication ;)
We do need official rules for uploads. Care to propose something?
- I was hoping for the T&C from the SFC to contain those rules, but we might need a more user-understandable summary, too.
To my understanding, uploads should: - conform to US family friendly standards (we might need to explain that, for the non-US people like me...) - not contain malware, spyware, adware or other things that can damage or block a downloader's computer - not be intended to damage the inkscape.org infrastructure - not contain advertising for anything but Free software / Free Culture - not be intended to discrimate against anyone, or to hurt anyone - not be abusing inkscape.org's infrastructure as a file-sharing platform for things totally unrelated with Inkscape - not infringe anyone's copyright - and probably more, like conform to US legislation
On the positive side, I think, in general uploads should: - have a relation to Inkscape (made with it, made for it, have to do with organisation for the project, be an extension for it, teach it,...) - show other users what one can do with Inkscape - help other users to get the most out of Inkscape - be the most welcome if they use open licences, so others can learn more from them
And then there are also the comments which need a set of rules. We currently link to the non-finished CoC...
What are the others' ideas for mails, uploads, T&C, CoC and comments?
