+
+A how-to (wiki page?) on dealing with conflicts sounds like a good idea.
+Although conflicts are inevitable as you say, I think it is important to avoid 
+them getting personal (in terms of blame), and also that we don't start working 
+at cross purposes.
+At the end of the road, for any group of intelligent people working together, 
+there has to be some compromise for things to advance.
+Which is hopefully what we all want for Mageia.
+
+My 2 cents :)
