But is Plasma a single project or not? That's the case for the big calligra.git; Calligra is a single project of somewhat related apps where people trust each other. Here I'd say every maintainer has the right to veto and the decission about github can be also delayed until there are any externally incoming patches. Realistically I don't see anyone who can offer to be a proxy for entire big repo. Maybe a bot can be. (For rather different reasons some calligra code splits out to smaller repos that if really needed, can have separate policies) Note: coincidentally just 10 minutes ago early question about code issue arrived to a mailing list I maintain. I am in process of asking the person if he can show me the code he tries to develop so we can focus on the matter. Without forcing any git hosting solution. Maybe that will be github which is mid road between, say, KDE and LibreOffice. Who knows. I'd just cherry-pick that to my scratch repo or to a feature branch in official repo. Done. The review would continue here within KDE. Then the code can fly, this is git. But the records of the review belongs to KDE. That's why I am safe talking about attracting users of GitHub. But this shows that people need a place to upload the forked repos. We as KDE do not give them write access until they are contributors. So no access to scratch repos (I shouldn't even mention if these are harder to use than the non-free competition, they are clearly too hard for for a newbie who so far made a single commit and decides what next). -- regards, Jaroslaw Staniek KDE: : A world-wide network of software engineers, artists, writers, translators : and facilitators committed to Free Software development - http://kde.org Calligra Suite: : A graphic art and office suite - http://calligra.org Kexi: : A visual database apps builder - http://calligra.org/kexi Qt Certified Specialist: : http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
