Though it is really cool you are doing all this job, I believe that the way to go is to do it through JIRA. For instance, I have close to no spare time for JSF these days but I really enjoying following the development of the JSF 2.0 implementation through JIRA. I think that offline discussions make the subject more difficult to understand for the rest and even if the task is done effectively keeping others from the loop may harm the project when those who implemented the thing offline cannot help anymore to its maintenance. People comes and goes, so having in JIRA makes it very convenient.

If it is not possible, I would at least create the JIRA issue containing the big changes and explaining what it does. At least it will be in the release notes...

Thanks for the work!

    Ok I need one exception to this rule.
    I have done a load of work with our combined codebases offline
    and also I am doing a full package reorg as we speak.
    This would mean

    a) Either push the entire codebase into the jira (a diff is
    pointless there is almost no file at the same place)

    or

    b) Doing one commit outside of the jira with references that this is
    a shared codebase

    Cheers

        c)
        that is *the* way to go.
        The contributors can upload a patch (visible to everybody that is
        interested) and a committer is free to take it and move it over
        to the source code. Also this way allows a much better feedback
        process...

        a) and b) imply too much offline work...
        exchanging patches behind hidden doors is not the way that a
        good and
        intact community wants to go.

            Hello

            I just got the last ICLA confirmation missing, now following.
            We are still at work, ganesh and alex are working on their
            codebase,
            since they do not have committer rights we have to do some
            workflow
            adjustment.

            I would propose following:


            a) I am working today and tomorrow still on the combined
            codebase cleanup,
            and will commit tomorrow my codebase into the ASF repo!

            b) Alex and Ganesh can work on theirs, Either I fetch the
            changes myself
            and commit them with acknowlegdgement

            or

            c) We go the jira route, which personally is for me the way
            which causes
            more work because I constantly have to apply patches instead!

            I personally would vote for b) what is the consensous on this?
