Hi, sorry for yet another mail from a newcomer to the project. There's been a huge discussion (across a couple of threads actually) on the Incubator mailing list recently. It started with the "Concerning Sentry" thread[0].
The issue being discussed in that thread is that some feel that discussions and development actually happen outside of Apache and out of sight of other contributors. Having looked at Ambari for two days now I get a very similar feeling here and I would ask and urge you to look at your practices. Just to give some examples these tickets have been created, reviewed and resolved within the last three hours (most within minutes): AMBARI-14290, AMBARI-14288, AMBARI-14289. Two major and one critical issue. In my opinion waiting for at least 24 or 48 hours before committing a patch would be good practice as would attaching a patch file to the issue itself as mentioned in my previous mail. Otherwise no potential contributor even has a chance to intervene or give feedback. Thanks for considering. Cheers, Lars [0] < http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.incubator.general/52126/focus=52351 > PS: I sent this mail earlier from the wrong account but I don't think it ever made it to the mailing list, if it did please excuse the double post
