Making effective rules for communication is not preaching SW. Since you forgot your dictionary, here's what mine says about preaching.
1. To deliver a sermon.
2. To give religious or moral instruction, especially in a tedious manner.

We are indeed establishing guidelines for good communication, it's called developing effective communication.

I did a lot of revising my original post, including a lot of your changes, and even including a little expansion on some of your additions, like your list of things to not do. I even added some humour to the list, like the last item: Having a paragraph of 38 sentences without having the courtesy of being an award-winning German author. Admittedly, if you read German lit, the joke works much better.
