We already assume that people who submit rulesets have some basic understanding of regular expressions. I think we also implicitly assume that they have some basic understanding of git (ex: how to format a patch for email submission). We already have a git repo where people can submit pull requests, and it's used fairly often (more so than emailed patches). https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere Personally, as a ruleset library maintainer, I would prefer everyone who submits rules to do so as pull requests or email-formatted patches, both of which require some git knowledge. > How well verified / "policed" (for lack of a better term) are the > current ruleset submissions?

I manually test every ruleset before merging. pde also does a bunch of ruleset merges from a single contributor who contributes a significant percentage of new rules (>50%, I think). I doubt those get tested one-by-one anymore. - -Yan > -- - John K.
