I like the idea a lot! I appreciate Lukas' opinion: the Code Manifesto may not be satisfactory to everyone, it's not that strong against misconduct, but that's not necessarily the point; IMO it succeeds at communicating noble values with a moderate and positive language.
Furthermore, I know for sure of some people who could have contributed to the FIG, who have not done so because of a complete lack of a conduct guideline, so it's about time we put one together. Cheers.
