I'd be wary of pursuing just the "women in GNOME" issue, because many of
the same things put off far more than just women. Running around
shouting "pants off" is not, for example, very compatible with the
Japanese cultural expectations.

Also if "Code of Conduct" is too strong then "Expected Behaviour"
perhaps. Personally I don't see a problem with "Code of Conduct" in that
it deals with acting for, speaking for, representing or being part of
Gnome, or when using its facilities.

It isn't too much to ask for people to keep other stuff elsewhere, or to
engage in other incompatible activities from a non-gnome email address
or on a different irc network.
