I'm pretty firmly planted in this demographic bucket but I don't mind the code at all. It's easy enough to delete if its a giant batch of patches that I can't contextualise; at the very least the commit message at the top lets me know what wisdom might be gleaned further below. Two things that might help: 1. if rake mail-patches included a url to github (or some hypthetical web-based review tool), you could easily flip over to get context. 2. i just found out about the 'abridged mail' option on google groups, which sends a very useful, compact hyperlinked summary of threads and posts in each one; if people are really busy but just want to keep a finger on the pulse this is a super way to do it. - Eric Sorenson - N37 17.255 W121 55.738 - http://twitter.com/ahpook - -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
