Yeah, that sort of experience with committing code that will affect the whole project is the type of experience I think would be useful. I think Gavin (on code-awards@) is right though, that CLAs would be required if their code were committed, and since regular contributors start off by just supplying patches, I might just stick with that (at least initially). -- Cameron McCormack, http://mcc.id.au/ xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ▪ ICQ 26955922 ▪ MSN [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache XML Graphics Project URL: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
