behaviour

I just twitted “an #API for humans” ( http://twitter.com/jrgd/statuses/839669544 ); one could extend this to a TOS.
API stands for Application Program Interface, a set of instruction to interact with a distant application. TOS stands for Terms Of Services, which defines what one can expect from an online service, more generally, the TOS list the rules within an online community. Applying those terms to human interaction may seems weird but it’s interesting to see that somehow it is what could be called Politeness, Respect and civilised exchange. Maybe sometimes, this should a bit more formalised, written black on white, carefully respected to ensure all parts of an interaction can expect a decent way of communicating.

NONE is an experimental trail
