If we tried to follow this, then almost everyday the latest patch needs to be reapplied and re-approved by everyone. Its been hard enough to get people to apply any version of the patch. I do not think, for this work, that requiring folks to reapply/revalidate for every revision for the RTC to complete is going to be effective. I am making significant progress on the m2 build and I really would rather not wait for (days, weeks) for one patch to get approved before continuing to work on the next steps. I can also not really split up these into incremental patches. I might have a different opinion of this entire situation if there were more PMC members that were actually looking at these patches... say one a day. If I pump out an average of 1/2+ a patch a day, then... After 2 days, 2 PMC would have reviewed (and lets just say were +1), but I have gotten further and have a new version of the patch now, so now they need to do it again... and probably won't until tomorrow. After 3 days, the 3rd PMC got to the v2 patch and +1 After 4 days, another PMC + 1, but another version is out... so scratch the votes and start over. The only chance in this example is for 1-2 PMC members to review apply each day. If 1 on the first, then must be 2 on the second or visa-versa. Given the current PMC member activity, I don't believe it will ever be possible (following this example) to every get anything approved.
How do you think our non-committers work? I think it's time to think about it and come up with a solution that would help them and us. Do you think it is the reason why there's so few contributions? I don't really have any idea how to improve it, really. Jacek -- Jacek Laskowski http://www.laskowski.net.pl
