Thank Jukka, I've been avoiding casting my mentor vote as I was unclear about the policies being adopted here. They felt uneven to me but I thought it was perhaps because I've not being paying enough attention, or perhaps it was because of this (to me) unfamiliar way of working with github forks.
It's kind of strange because I'm a fan of very low barriers to entry for projects. Usually as a mentor I find myself having to prompt podlings to bring in new people. Here I find the opposite. I'd really appreciate it if the project team could put together some guidelines against which new committers will be evaluated. What is is that they are looking for? I'd also really appreciate it if VOTE threads contained some evidence of contributions in the form of appropriate likes to commits, mail traffic, documentation edits, etc. This both helps reviewers of the vote and helps demonstrate to others how easy it is to gain an input here (which is often a motivating factor) Ross On 23 March 2012 16:37, Jukka Zitting <jukka.zitt...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 11:36 PM, Brian LeRoux <b...@brian.io> wrote: >> Lets try this again!
