"Integrating large code-dumps requires cooperation and cannot be done as a simple commit, therefore we urge you to contact us on how we commonly can achieve the best result". When I read the page, it sounds as if we are only interested in small code patches, and that cannot be correct. Of course if someone has written a function (maybe 1.000 lines), we are highly interested. If someone has written a complete new module (like a photo editor), then we need to talk. As an example my l10n tools are about 1.100 lines which I am sure is something we want (I know I am committer, but see it as an example). rgds Jan I. > Thanks, > > -Rob >
