That's a bit extreme -- I am running the tests, using our Ant scripts, on Windows and Linux and they are passing with build successful for me. I'm not claiming to be bug free, but I'm not checking in useless code either :-( >> It's going to be the case that people will want to go off into a >> 'corner' and try something. it's nice that they can do it so others can >> watch, help, participate, and still it is out of the mainstream >> codebase until that person or people want to bring it in (or propose to >> bring it in). >> >> The merging would be their problem, just as it would be if they were >> just working at home or in the office on a private copy. >> >> The benefits seem obvious. > > Sure, yes.

I shall choose my words more carefully; my light-hearted use of 'junk' meant to convey work-in-progress (i.e. is unfinished / has limitations). Of course we don't expect anyone to check in real junk code.
