I've already emailed Jacob last week to open the branch for me.
As it turns out - I've got *lots* of spare programming cycles since I'm stuck in an entirely unholy quagmire of bureaucratic sludge right now. :) Mmm..... bureaucratic sludge..... vic On 1/8/07, Russell Keith-Magee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

There is no formal distinction - users are the set of people interested in using Django to develop websites, whereas developers are those interested in contributing to improve Django itself. Anyone is welcome to be a member of either group. Inside the developers, there are the core developers (such as myself) that have commit access to the repository, and branch developers that have commit access to a particular branch of Django. There is a subset of the core developers (Adrian and Jacob) that have administrator access to the repository and can grant commit access to various parts of the tree. Branch developer status will generally be granted to anyone that has a good idea, and can demonstrate that they will be able to deliver what they promise (a prototype implementation is the usual minimum benchmark). Core developer status is the next step, once a reputation for consistent contribution to the community is established. > Any idea what the status is on the potential for a branch, or for > Victor's changes getting rolled into the schema evolution branch?

At the moment, the ball is in Victor's court - he has presented a prototype implementation, so if he wants to champion this cause, he needs to contact Jacob and request SVN access to the schema evolution branch. At that point, he will be the integration person for that branch, so if you want to contribute, he will be the person to coordinate with. If Victor doesn't want the champion role, then the floor is open for someone to step up, with some sample code to prove that they are capable of completing the task. Yours, Russ Magee %-) >
