Maybe, a pivotal point was when all user accounts got invalidated and 
everybody(?) needed to re-register. To actually get access you'd be 
required to formally agree to 
	http://www.geda-project.org/CodeOfConduct.html
The passive-aggressive wording of this never publicly discussed document 
made me hesitate to sign-up when I skipped over it, but I did anyway. 
Shortly after, the wiki moved to a different server and all editor 
accounts got invalidated again. This time I read more closely what I was 
supposed to sign. 

It is hard to see, how most of the clauses remotely apply to working on 
the wiki. This begs the question, why it was deemed necessary to make 
approval of the code-of-conduct mandatory in the first place. I had no 
answer, but whatever reason I could come up with, made me feel 
uncomfortable. So I decided against a sign-up and thus stopped to 
contribute.
