Forgive me all.
I'm really bad coordinator.
I'd like to improve my wrong procedures to handle the copyright
issue.
First of all, we should track contributors in a file(CONTRIBUTORS).
Stefan, could you apply a patch appended to this mail to you tree?
Currently I don't have any tree which is accessible globally.
And other people, especially newer contributors, could you put
your name in the file after Stefan merges the patch? You may fill
like:
(contributor :name "Yourname" :signed not-yet)
Once you signed to FSF, change the entry to
(contributor :name "Yourname" :signed done)
Why S expression? Because I know all of you loves it.
Telling how to sign to FSF to you is my next task. Anyway recording
is important.
I'll check older mail to/from FSF to fill rather older or retired
contributors. However, if you read this mail, please put your name
by your self. I'm quite happy if you do so.
Second I should write down the interaction with FSF and the official
procedure for copyright assignment.
Third I'm looking for assistant or replacement of me for this task.
One of the biggest reason the task has been stopped is of my weak
English communication skill. If you agree to work on this task,
tell me. I'll add your mail address to Cc: when I contact/interact
with FSF. So you'll know how to handle copyright issue.
Forth as you may know, new version of GNU Emacs is released so
we can act for merging DVC to GNU Emacs if we want. Anyway I'll
make my tree.
