If submitted patches don't receive enough attention, maybe there is something wrong with them. Maybe they don't work, introduce bugs, don't come with adequate testing, mess up future plans, or something like that. In cases like this, the patches require lots of work by the project accepting them, maybe more than they are worth, or more than just doing it over. In gnucap, I always give contributors top priority, but if a patch comes in without advance discussion, often there is something wrong with it. If somebody contributes a new plugin, usually it is accepted immediately. We may have some discussion about it, but new plugins are accepted freely, and distributed as user contributed plugins. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
