A how-to (wiki page?) on dealing with conflicts sounds like a good idea.
Although conflicts are inevitable as you say, I think it is important to avoid 
them getting personal (in terms of blame), and also that we don't start working 
at cross purposes.
At the end of the road, for any group of intelligent people working together, 
there has to be some compromise for things to advance.
Which is hopefully what we all want for Mageia.

My 2 cents :)
