I think this is a good pragmatic list. One thing I wonder is whether we can mark our own fix as "FixToInclude" In theory, we should not because we are bypassing a peer review. We should not lower quality insurance. But practically it depends on two things: - the level of work supported by integrators - whether you have enough peer reviewers and how easy or involving is such a review (the reviewer throughput) I suppose Marcus would like to be replaced by an automaton and reduce integrator support. It shall then be mandatory to tag our own fixes as "FixReviewNeeded". But if ever you don't have enough reviewer throughput, then the "FixReviewNeeded" will start accumulating in the tracker. If we fail to increase the throughput (with an army of reviewers or some facilitating tools) then Marcus (and Stef) burden won't lighten. I repeat once again, but I prefer the squeak-trunk smooth process were the changes are published in a mailing list. They CAN BE reviewed more easily, and I'm sure they ARE reviewed more efficiently than in Pharo process (I mean by many more eyes). As a committer, I can then publish directly in trunk without the inbox stage. It's very like a direct "FixToInclude" But that does not mean there will be no review. But maybe I'm tainted ;) Nicolas > -- > Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de > > >
