Speaking personally, not for the team: I don't think we should impose a network-wide policy, but I do think we should work out a policy draft that communities can adopt or adapt.

We don't know what kinds of communities we'll ultimately attract here.  Some might be more interested in mentoring, coaching, or basic questions than others.  Sometimes the lines around "homework" are fuzzy.  I therefore don't think we want to impose a one-size-fits-all policy.

*However*, many communities, both ones already here and ones in the future, will see people trying to get answers to their homework questions.  We should help them, rather than expecting each community to work out its rules on its own.  The ideal outcome, in my opinion, would be a policy *resource* for communities, who can then decide to turn it on as-is, adjust it, or omit it.
