Prior to this summer there was a sincere hope by some at the company that the currently-named bazaar-ng (which some day will become Bazaar 2.0) would be a nice idea testing-place for revision control ideas. If an idea worked out well in the python prototype, then the idea would get migrated back to the "written in a real language" Bazaar. Things turned out a bit differently. The mindshare for bazaar grew quickly and already has more unique people comitting code than existed for Bazaar over its entire history. In the last month alone, I've seen accepted patch submissiosn from over a dozen unique people. -- James Blackwell | Life is made of the stuff that hasn't killed Tell someone a joke! | you yet. - yours truly ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GnuPG (ID 06357400) AAE4 8C76 58DA 5902 761D 247A 8A55 DA73 0635 7400 _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list Gnu-arch-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
