I love working in #openSource.
I love the process of engaging with others to identify the best solutions for things whether they agree with me or not.
Similarly I love being able to have a voice in things that I wouldn't necessarily have on a closed project.
Anything that hampers #openCollaboration #openCommunication is probably bad for open source.
Encourage lots of voices to contribute ... You don't have to please everyone, and you try not to take it personally if someone disagrees with you.

@Edent +1 (actually a lot more) to this. As well as being a record for myself, it helps newbies get onboard without feeling intimidated y having to interact with "scary people". They can more easily experiment on their own.
Also if I've written doc on something and can point a newbie at it when they do all, I feel I've got something right (unless the doc was particularly hard to find!) so it's a win for everyone!
