I cannot say how other projects handle that as i only know MPlayers development "model" in detail. There it's that contributors (ie people who send patches) are promoted to developers (people with svn write access) when the patches they send are generelly regarded as good quality by the other developers.
I like this.
It also happens from time to time that someone shows up and wants to take over (or is forced to take over ;) some unmainted code without the described promotion process.
And this.
That's the usual way how it's done (in MPlayer). And no, nobody wants anybody meddling with their repo. But IMHO we should follow a little bit more open policy in the beginning to attract new developers until we have a stable base. After that, we can be more strict without making it difficult for new people to contribute.
Sounds good. I think that, at the moment, we should see these things from someone who wants write access: (1) Post to the list some code they want to contribute, with some evidence that it works. (2) Declare agreement to our licensing policy. We'll have plenty of exceptions. For instance, we need someone to police the licensing headers for all source files. If someone volunteers for that position, we should just give them proper access. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
