Whoah, cool! <joke>I thought we'd take years</joke> :-) As an aside (I seem to only be about asides. I did buy a C++ book this weekend!), I'm not sure if everyone around is used to working with "centralized" version control as opposed to a more distributed system where people have local trees (as with arch or similar) that frequently merge...there's every now and then some big debate about which process is best. In any case, Apache projects pretty much always have a very centralized approach. That means making small changes and checking in those every so often. When I'm working fulltime on a codebase, I tend to do a commit roughly every 30 minutes to an hour. And an update right before. If several developers do that the trunk rolls along quite quickly and there's loads of micro-merges. I'd like to encourage everyone to do things that way, especially with young codebases. Everyone reading along with the commit messages (and trust me, there's quite a few) can get a feel for how you develop the codebase and learn from it. Its how I learned to program in the first place :-). Also important with harmony, is that smaller chunks of commit messages help us make sure (and trivially prove) that we're working with freshly developed code instead of stuff pasted from elsewhere. ciao!
