Again no offense at all taken and I was in no way upset - I simply figured as I got no response and I had these changes locally that I didn't want to go to waste, that I may as well go to a different medium where I knew I could get some work submitted.
The prolem I have with "convnention" is that, clearly, someone new won't know what the convention is, and someone not new is "useless" as they are already part of the project heh. The idea here is we want to make it really easy/simple for new users to join in, and convention won't help us there. That's the nice thing about Codeplex - no convention. You just click on a developer's name, and you're taken to a page where you can send them a message. Unfortunately, Google Code doesn't have this option. I realized after the fact (after having already created my group in Codeplex) that all the activity happens here in the group - but there isn't a strong linking between the forum posts and the google code page (as opposed to Codeplex, where it's all inter-connected). Again, I'd recommend you guys have a look at Codeplex. I have no problem submitting my code changes here, but if you have a look over there, you'll see the interface is quite nicer than Google Code + Google Groups (at least, for the purpose of working on an open-source project where we want other developers to join in). I realize that an MIT license allows us to branch the source any time we see fit, but that's somewhat pointless here as we all want the same thing. I just get a feeling that it's a lot more difficult to maintain this project and to get attention (and other developers) using Google Code instead of Codeplex.
