For what it's worth, from my work with Harmony, I've seen that maintaining a high patch application rate provides an enormous boost to contributions. The more people see their patches being applied and released, the more they'll contribute.

That is besides trying to include tests, etc. -Nathan Beyer > -----Original Message----- > From: Brett Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 7:48 PM > To: Maven Developers List > Subject: applying patches > > Does anyone have time to apply an occasional patch? > > I keep track of them and I now count 223 outstanding.
