Again, I am pretty sure that we cannot move components from SF directly to the sandbox. Code developed outside of the ASF framework needs to pass through the incubator. My understanding is that this rule is non-negotiable.
The sandbox is not a substitute for the incubator. It is for components that are developed *here* within the myfaces community. Non-committers will have to submit files, patches to the dev list to be committed. This is the way its done on jakarta-commons. The standard for committing something to the sandbox will obviously be less but the development and development discussions need to take place in house on the dev list. I would *not* do any serious development in SF and expect that the components can be part of the sandbox. Please be patient, we will have the sandbox shortly and IMO there is no need to go the SF route. This is my take on the ASF rules. My personal views differ somewhat from the rules but the rules are there for a reason. I'm sure Ted and other ASF veterans can clarify. sean On 5/13/05, Jesse Alexander (KBSA 21) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you want a step before that, the jsf-comp-project on sf.net is > activated. > > There the committer-rights could be given freely to everybody who's > interested.
