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.
