There are going to be culture classes as we try to move towards becoming
one big happy family. Most of it is due to ingrained assumptions that
we have all built up over long periods of time. My aim is to actively
seek them out and surface them for all of us to inspect, discuss, and
learn from.
Peter, take a moment and glance at
http://httpd.apache.org/dev/guidelines.html. Search for "Apache
Developers".

indeed. a customer support friend told me about an oddball request
from a customer: to *remove* a word from the system dictionary.
they carefully spell-checked the announcement they were sending
to 25'000 people, and found no errors -- so blithely invited all those
people to a 'pubic auction'.
'we have *no need* for the word pubic in our dictionary!' said the
customer.

Ouch! Yes. Ever notice how many of your typos end up being amazingly
close to keywords in programming languages that you happen to use...
