Agree, particularly about shortening/simplifying it. We can continue to use
(albeit more obviously) the GNOME Foundation Board as a conflict resolution
point.

Wow, short. But hey, the Ubuntu CoC basically just says "don't be a dick"
with somewhat more verbiage. I think it helps to have a statement of intent
too, kind of like the GPL preamble. Then you have a benchmark, the 'rules'
are just details.

Thanks,
