he needs to be a committer.
So, you can work together: He is suggesting the text changes (or
deliveres actually patches) and you can commit them to the CMS.
Yes, I am (principally) aware of this possibility.
---------------------
Only I probably needed some help in organizing the practical work, BECAUSE:
I don't know how to keep non-committed changes in the CMS for a longer period
of time, because all pending changes to the OO website will always be
transferred with a commit.
Example:
if I change the web page "a. html" at 20:00 and save it as a stating build (and not
commited) and another one at 21:00 changes the web page "b. html" and commits
immediately, then both changes will be published.
---------------------
that's right. This is how the CMS is working. a.html and b.html are part
of the "ooo-site" CMS project and a single "publish" command will put
both (and all other changes in this project) online.
Therefore I'm working mostly locally and look closely how the changes
are working/looking. When including all other HTML, CSS and JavaScript
parts it is working good - even when it's just on my local machine.
Then, when I'm sure it's OK, I'm committing it, so that it's appearing
in the staged area. When it's also here working/looking good here, then
I'm fine. Otherwise I'm doing further changes. Finally, when it's done
from here I don't care if I put it online in 1 hour or if someone else
is doing it faster.
Of course, I don't know if you are fine with this and want to work this way.
Here is a short list how to become a committer [1]. These are general
ASF process steps, so it doesn't apply directly to
OpenOffice. But the
priciple is the same:
Yes, I know this procedure.
If I read that Dave offers to discuss the committer-status in the PMC, can I
assume that Apache will grant the committer rights relatively soon?
The PMC:
- needs to know her/him - mostly done via visible and continuous
activity via mailing lists
- has to be confidend that it's not only a few changes and than she/he
is gone again - or silent
- it should be more than just a few typo changes (or similar small
changes)
So, at the end: it depends. ;-)
