Thanks Nico, i hope you don't mind i added the readme ill update and link it. One thing i really don't like is the gray areas in these rules, I want rules that are so clear a +1 can be expected if you follow them. Only if we feel its 'important' and 'maintained by all' we should have a deeper discussion and
move it from contributions to applications.

We must not forget that contributions are done by people who would like to share what they have made in the hope it will help someone. In return they will get a 'free' cvs system to make working and sharing easer.


Quoted from the document "A 3rd party package should be useful for others. A package which is highly customized for one person is in most cases not interesting for others. This is very vague, but you can probably judge better if it should be shared then we, as community, can."

I don't think we should have very hard rules to guarantee a +1. This CVS module is created to make it EASIER for outsiders to contribute. The vote is just to ask the core committors if they think it is in the boundaries of these vague rules. An abstain can also mean that you don't have enough information to judge that, but don't want to be in the way to let the vote pass. Other committors may have the required information to judge. If the vote didn't pass, because all abstained then the next step is to explain more why you think it is suitable.

Nico
