"I have Read and Agree to the TWiki.org Code of Conduct"

All users who register new on twiki.org need to read and agree to the TWiki.org Code of Conduct (terms of use). These terms apply to the use of TWikiCommunity infrastructure, such as twiki.org website and wiki, IRC, development servers and mailing lists.

Users who agree to the Code of Conduct are eligible to be part of the TWikiCommunityGroup. Members of the Community group can participate in these webs: Codev (for collaboration), Plugins web (extension repository), TWiki (for documentation), and Blog (for public blogging).

Important note: The Code of Conduct agreement took effect on 27 Oct 2008. Existing twiki.org accounts are not grandfathered in. Each existing community member needs to take a proactive step and edit his/her homepage and select the AgreeToTermsOfUse yes/no flag to indicate agreement or not. Those who do accept the terms, will be added to the TWikiCommunityGroup. Please read the TWiki.org Code of Conduct, login, then edit your homepage to indicate if you agree or not. (In edit mode, scroll down, you will see the AgreeToTermsOfUse form field.)

Note: Follow these steps if you have an old user homepage without a TWikiForm at the bottom:

• edit your homepage
• follow the "add form" link
• select the "UserForm"
• in edit screen, scroll down and fill in the form details
• in the "AgreeToTermsOfUse" question select a yes or no

TermsOfUseSearch lists all users who proactively selected "yes" or "no". As of today, 202 users selected "yes", and 15 selected "no". These are nice numbers!

As of today, we have 4200+ users who selected "yes", and only 34 who selected "no". I interpret this as a clear endorsement of the code of conduct by the community. Thank you!
