Hi guys; I am a freeBSD user/contributor and I hope I will be able to contribute to OOo too. For now do excuse me if I am not very aware of the Apache processes/procedures.
I am glad subversion will be used (the web interface is so much better than GIT) and I am pretty sure the read-only GIT/mercurial access will be sufficient for external developers. One doubt I have is whether the historic metadata from the previous OOo Hg/bugzilla will also be imported. I would guess in the SVN repository we want to start from scratch with the donated code, so the previous history in Hg can remain where it is. The bugzilla database probably has uncommitted code that is nevertheless property of OpenOffice.org. On both cases I guess the Oracle OpenOffice stuff will remain available for a while, but I was wondering if it made sense to transition all that stuff into the Apache incubator ASAP or just leave it as-is and fix the bugzilla issues case by case. FWIW, the bugzilla issue I care most about is the FreeBSD port but thankfully Maho@ will take care of that directly :). cheers, Pedro.
