Afternoon. Not had a chance to read all the way through this yet, but these two bits caught my eye:

The establishment of these rules has been given much consideration by the talk.maemo.org staff, the Maemo Community Couincil, and feedback from long-time members, [...]
Well, not much consideration by the Maemo Community Council as a) we'd not have a typo (bunch of pedants that we are), and the first I hear about this laudible effort is in a link fpp posts from another thread.

Not suggesting that you haven't been talking to council members, but it seems a bit like this has been sprung out of thin air (it seems remarkably complete), gets a deadline stamped on it and "our name" used to sell it.

I don't want to overreact, but perhaps - if nothing else - an email to council@maemo.org would've been a good idea to say "hey guys, can I have your support for this draft; I've been working on it with X, Y and Z". Perhaps a wiki document would be the best place to draft them, anyway?
