What is Netiquette?
| Good Online Posting Behaviour |
|
Netiquette is the term applied to the common rules of good online behaviour. For the general case, it is defined in IETF RFC 1855; for the more specific Apache environment, it boils down to things like: don't flame lurk for a while after joining a list before posting; this allows you to get a feel for the personalities, attitudes, and issues, as well as existing rules for acceptable behaviour be aware of the project's / list's guidelines (such as on voting), and don't violate them if you have a question, search the list archives and the bug database before asking what may have already been answered These are just the rough outline of things that may be more (or less) the rule on a per-list basis. They boil down to be polite and don't make unnecessary work for others. |
