For a patch, due to its form, sending to the community a request for change, it is implied that it is a donation to the ASF with proper copyrights, so it is OK. I might be an issue if a contribution is only declared to be elsewhere (« look at my branch on github»). Sending a patch via email, jira or a PR is considered OK. And the CLA is mainly for the people directly contributing. > I think in general, do we have someone experienced with the plugin who can > look at some of the IvyDE open JIRA issues/enhancements and decide which ones > to fix in the upcoming release and make sure things work fine with the > proposed Ivy release itself? As for Ivy, I am volunteering to apply patches. For what to release, when, how, I am relying on the community to drive it. There is one topic that I will probably push though, on both Ivy and IvyDE; and the site: migrating to asciidoc. The migration I have wrote took me some time and is a kind of big hack. So the sooner the migration will be done, the sooner contributing documentation will be easier.
