Hooray! - I reserve the right to revert your version if you break the build. > What is this "revert" and "version" of which you speak? :) Code changes will take the form of patch bundles mailed to the list (or attached to the as-yet-unnamed tracker). The despot(s) then review them and merge them into a local repository. If the changes make them happy, they can push them upstream to the CI repository. This will probably be different from the download repository, which will be slightly more stable. (This is how Linux kernel development works - there's a main repo that the core devs use to sync with one another and another one "further" upstream that regular kernel users can pull stable changes from.) Of course devs are free to share patches between one another too, to try out different ideas or get early access to in-flight bug fixes. Ain't distributed scm grand?
