No firefight - there is simply no other way to build karma on an open source project. And the fact that one of our projects was done with no community involvement simply sucks.

My point was that if some sort of distributed SCM was used rather than SVN, then it wouldn't matter that much at all. Non-committers (in this case, the students) would still be able to pull and update from the main codebase while committing locally. They'd get the benefits of having some sort of endorsed code management system that they could easily generate patches from. The idea of SVK was batted around on the mentor list, but didn't get very far. Cayenne tried two different SVN installations, which made it rather difficult to keep on top of patches. Others used no SCM at all.

Anyway, to get back where this started. Did we give the students everything they needed to work most effectively and productively? If so, then JIRA patches are the way to go for next year. If not, what could be done differently?
