I do believe that if "bar" is meant to be a repository for common code, then people working on project "foo" will be reluctant to refactor common code into "bar" unless they continue to have commit rights to that code. If I had commit access to avalon, I would have simply made those two minor fixes (actually would have likely done it as one commit ;-]), and you would have had an opportunity to see, comment on, and perhaps even reverse the change based on the cvs commit message to avalon-dev. > I was thinking that you (and any other alexandria/gump developers) > could prove to be a useful test case. ie If you were to get full > across the board access it may be useful because you could reduce > the communication overhead etc. I think Alexandria/gump is a > perfect test case as it cuts across all projects etc. I think it is a great idea, but I am not going to unilaterally impose my will on any subproject. If the committers to any subproject vote to expand their pool of commiters, I would be glad make it so. > If that was a success then we could move to allow the various tribes > commit access on their code bases. ie turbine/jetspeed/jyve would > form one tribe as would avalon/james/cocoon etc (I know they aren't > all at jakarta so this may not work for these cases). I'm pleased to see that jakarta-avalon* is already a "tribe". >From a karma perspective, the cvs is not aware of the political boundaries. > At each test stage we could expand the notion of tribe (ie I assume > that velocity and turbine developers would intermix at next stage). > Until there is only one tribe - Jakarta. Thoughts ? I do like the idea of incremental progress towards this goal. - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
