-When communicating with Savannah users, keep in mind that you represent the
GNU project, and you need to give a good image of us :)

-It may sound silly to describe precisely what "politeness" is. However it is
very easier to forget about it when doing maintenance work day after day; there
are also various views about the extent of a site admin privileges, and we'll
expose what our view at Savannah is.

-* Try to discuss with people: we're here to educate people. In addition,
people often take it bad when they feel they are given orders. We will remain
firm on our positions, but we want people to comply with our hosting policies
because we convinced them, not because we coerced them.

-* If a mail from a user gets you angry, put it aside for one day or two, so
you can calm down. Don't answer immediately out of anger, you'll probably feel
sorry right after.

-* Discuss with your fellow Savannah Hackers about issues you face, and give
them time to answer. Often, a external point of you will help you a lot.
-
-* You are a site admin, but you are in no way a project admin; when you're
interacting with a hosted project, always assume you have no privilege: you
cannot add yourself as a member, you cannot subscribe to their private mailing
lists or read their archives, etc. Doing so would be considered extremely
invasive by the project maintainers. Consider that there is a difference
between what you technically can do, and what you morally can do. The moral
prevails.
