right, what about a FAQ on who is doing what , whom to contact for
abuse, and such like. Recently there was some trolling on IRC and
sometime people contact off-list with personal questions. Not evil to
go off-list but getting personal under the guise of Floss is not nice.

Even if we may know who is an op on IRC, a newcomer may not know which
nicks to contact and report abuse or maybe he/she may not know find
foo-ops on irc. It may help to have that info on a page somewhere
prominently linked on the main page.

For the list we have -owner which anyone can use to report people
going off-list and getting personal or nasty when you ignore them.

... and yes abuse happens a lot ...been there, seen/experienced that.

a suggestion ... instead of keeping the names of contributors, it will
be better to keep foo-project url/wiki/list/irc info so women can
contact the list/irc directly. If women dont feel comfortable going
there (main project) directly they can use this list /irc to get info
and support.
