Thanks :). I created a Codehaus account (shane907) and applied to become a
developer. Also read over the Policies and Procedures section of the
developer's guide.
A few questions that weren't clear after a look over the docs:
As an extension committer, will I have access to the relevant files in the
release module (src/release/ext-excel.xml,
src/release/extensions/excel/README.TXT, etc), or are patches normally
submitted for changes to these files?
Also, I'm guessing that it's desirable to not rely on multiple versions of
the same artifact. The monitoring community extension has a dependency on an
older version of the POI library. Is it encouraged to submit patches to
bring code into alignment concerning dependency verisons?
Thanks,
Shane
