I've written a standard bot policy that can be enforced on projects
that choose to do so. The idea is to create a template policy,
particularly for small communities, that simplifies and standardizes
the policy writing and bot request process.
This is particularly in response to recent discussion in
#wikimedia-stewards and on Foundation-l, like White_Cat's post at <
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2007-September/032740.html
.
Comments and edits are welcome.
Yours cordially,
