[Board] Codesprint guidelines posted

[Seven (aka Arnulf)]

Tim,
I suggest you go to the Wiki directly [1] and change what you think
needs to be changed. It is a Wiki do-ocracy and I actually sort of
expect you to propose changes directly.

Maybe we should also include the incubation list - or what is the best
way of getting a hold of all projects? Ideas?

Thanks,
Arnulf.
