At the risk of being repetitive, let me go into more why I firmly 
believe we need this badly.  I'd like to think that many(some?) of those 
folks that can be coerced/taught to be community-friendly simply do not 
know what they are doing is wrong/bad, and have no clear understanding 
of that is expected of them.

Yes, this could be seen as largely common-sense by some, but when it 
comes to large communities comprised of many different cultures whose 
primary communication channels are not face-to-face, it's often far from 
obvious.

Oh, and +1 to using the gnome coc as a guide too, very nice.
