can I vote a "blank statement +1" that you can use to move code into SVN?
I think that if you would like to make a +1 blanket statement, then
we'll count that in the future.
In my mind, in terms of "people that have reviewed what is going on and
what is going into SVN and that the paperwork is ok", it doesn't count.
No statement in that case is better.
I mean, if we have the paperwork, let's move the code in, whether or not
we end up releasing it will require another vote anyway.
However, for awareness, oversight and participation, I think we still
should be voting code in.
+1. "I trust Geir got it right" is bad since it creates a dependency on Geir
and moreover doesn't scale well (and scaling, we need...). However, changing
to a commit-then-review mode might help, and might scale better.
That's my point. "review then commit" is silly, it doesn't work.
we are voting to put stuff in svn, not to get it out as rubberstamped.
if we were to vote about anything that goes in SVN, we wouldn't be able
to do crap.
I don't know about you, but I have no time to check for all those big
chunks of code that get inside the repo... the 'input' filter is only
legal and/or political, not technical, and I have no real oversight on
what Geir does when he says "paperwork is in". But then again, if we had
to challenge in court everyone of Geir's assertions, we would never do
anything.
Therefore my umbrella +1 to get stuff in SVN if the person doing the
paperwork it's a mentor of this project and says it's cool.
Getting stuff out is a different matter entirely.
