That's what I was wondering too. In our case the projects are isolated from the rest of the code, so sandbox would be a preferred approach. Cayenne project committers do not have the infrastructure karma, so we will have to bother somebody else to set this up.

Alternatively I can setup an SVN sandbox on ObjectStyle.org (and I can manage sandboxes for all other willing SoC apache projects as well) ... not sure if that's a bad idea from Cayenne incubating perspective (as we are moving the infrastructure from ObjectStyle to Apache), but it makes sense from practical standpoint and takes some load from the Infra.

Any comments on that?

How you manage your students is entirely up to you. Some people created a sandbox area in SVN, together with a temporary ASF account to access it. Others expected their students to go through the normal meritocracy process of earning commit priveledges.

Bear in mind, that this whole process increases the load on the infrastructure team. It is worth ensuring the student knows how to submit patches via your issue tracker even if you intend to create a sandbox. That way you don't have to wait for the infra team to find the time.
