You could work in a sandbox here if you like or in a branch if you did

with latency on our behalf with applying your changes.
thanks for the encouragement. In fact, I've always found the atmosphere
on this list exceptionally encouraging. My commit reluctance, I guess,
was less related to a lack of confidence in my changes but more of a
process thing (just do it). I'll fix this, promised :-)
- Practical reasons like the fact that I am not the only one
within our
team working on the code. In facht, I have not been working on it for
quite some time, while others did.
Ahh I see. Hey help grow the community and bring these folks here.
We have a low barrier of entry as you noticed. They're welcome to
work on the DHCP code and augment it's community. If they can submit
one or two patches and engage the community then karma can be granted
quickly. For us karma is not a badge of honor but rather just a
security mechanism for protection. It takes little to demonstrate
that someone is sane and competent :).
I'll talk to them and introduce them to the list. But we probably won't
make it this year, though :-)
- A conflict of interests: wearing the openthinclient.org
<http://openthinclient.org> cap I am
interested in a stable version, so it makes sense to work with one
as a
starting point. With the Apache DS it is obvious that the trunk is the
way to go. Keeping both points of view balanced isn't that easy.
I understand better now. If there is anything we can do to make it
easier for you guys to get going here let us know. I'd like to help
make sure these complications go away for you and others from
openthinclient.org <http://openthinclient.org>.
Thanks, sounds great! There are so many areas in which we can cooperate
(in addition to the ones we already discussed, the SAR and OSGi
packaging come to mind), it would be a waste if we didn't.
