That's the bit in the middle I was referring to, so I think we agree on this. I'd also add that the infrequency of releases hurts, so the threads on the list are starting to become inter-related. > > The increased visibility of something simple like a pull request is an > amazing thing. So there's two sides to it - processing contributions, and encouraging them in the first place. The examples you gave are substantially different in that they get some dedicated attention, and are new and easier to change, so I'm not sure they give us the same information. Is there a way we can utilise pull requests from github.org/apache and still get them back to the svn repository so we can try this in a meaningful way? - Brett -- Brett Porter br...@apache.org http://brettporter.wordpress.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
