To pile on top of excellent points made by Julian (hence top-posting ;-))
I think the first thing Quickstep community needs to agree on ASAP is
the common suggested developer workflow. Documenting it on the wiki
is probably a good way to go.
Here's a few similar documents to get your creative juices flowing:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HAWQ/Contributing+to+HAWQ
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/How+to+Contribute
Anybody wants to take a stab at putting this kind of document together -- please
let me know your cwiki ID.
Thanks,
Roman.
