[[WP:CANVASS]] would be a good place to start--  if I made a mailing
list to talk about on-wiki behavior, posting notices about major
on-wiki happenings... if it ever got out, I would be banned before I
knew what hit me.

Another would proposal woudl be that when our admins screw up, we be
allowed to do a full postmortem to figure out just what went wrong and
how to stop it from happening again.

Requiring all evidence to be submitted ON-WIKI for admin review (or
else deferred to arbcom/office)  would be another good step.
