Technology publisher Tim O'Reilly has proposed that a code of conduct be adopted by the blogging community. Fellow blogger Douglas Schweitzer is on board with the idea,but has some concerns about the draft proposal. Bonnie Erbe doubts it would work. Here's our take on it: with success comes responsibility.
