Do we need a PPE category (Philosophy, Politics, Ethics)? I feel any project would benefit immensely when ‘technical’ development is complemented by ‘ethical’ discussions. To throw in a definition by Foucault of what ‘ethics’ can be: “(…) for what is ethics, if not the practice of freedom, the conscious (…) practice of freedom?”

I have not been able to find privacy statements (for how long does the site store IP addresses and why?) when performing a quick search. Shouldn’t these issues not only be directly accessible through the main website menu but also be part of a category for community discussion? As far as I understand, Ubuntu MATE is especially geared (but not limited) to those new to Linux and to make all things related to Linux as easy, intuitive and transparent as possible. Providing a category on the website and the forum on PPE, I believe, would make it easier for those escaping the privacy-violating worlds of Windows and Mac to find a new home.
