Hi, I think that it's normal to have separate repositories, at it is separate projects. Technicaly there is no problem if you want that xwiki committers can commit on all the projects (chrono, curriki, workspaces, sandbox, core, etc ...). The problem is : if you give some rights to someone for committing on sandbox he will be able to commit on the core if he wants ... Also, there is not only xwiki opensource repositories on this server, so we will not change the authentication mechanism, at least not in very near futur. So here is my -1 for the technical part and another -1 for because I really think that different projects need to have different repositories :) And finally here is my +1 to move Curriki, Watch, XE and XEM on there own repositories, which will be more consistent regarding the way we manage the different products on xwiki.org.
