Uh oh that's a good one. :) I recommend checking with your PMC. Personally, I would say that a CQ is not needed. Yes, it is new content but it's not code. The same contribution could have happened as a wiki page. We do not require CQs for wiki pages - no matter how long they are. I believe content added to the wiki is covered by the website terms and condition.
Is this a Gerrit review, pull request or Bugzilla patch? Did the contributor signed the CLA? -Gunnar -- Gunnar Wagenknecht [email protected], http://guw.io/ > Am 24.03.2016 um 17:21 schrieb Mark Stoodley <[email protected]>: > > If a project committer makes a significant (say > 1000 lines of code) > contribution and the contribution is "new" content (by which I mean a > completely new file or piece of content; not modifications to existing > content in the project), does that necessarily count as an "initial > contribution" under the IP process? > > The specific example we've got is the contribution of our coding standard, > which is more than 1000 lines (yeah, I know) of markdown.
