You are *not* a committer to lenya! Nobody voted you in. You have write access to the code base which is different. IMO the subject is not reflecting this (I had chosen another one but ...). > Truth is, people contribute because of > their own personal interest not just because there's an easy > opportunity. No, in my case that was different. If I would have gone through sending patches form the beginning instead of using my given (from the day I started at apache) *write access* to forrest I probably would not be here. I started with forrest *because* of lenya, I personally never used (nor using it now) forrest for my own purpose. Contributing patches is time consuming. Time is something very valuable. -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!" Hey you (Pink Floyd)
