I am not a committer myself, and not really familiar with Mercurial (I know CVS/SVN best, and bzr better). I found the current hg mirror of svn quite useful as a way to work on bugs, review patches, etc. without needing any commit access. > When the test-for-two-weeks installation becomes available, the > new-to-hg users will have a chance to learn how to use it without fear > of breaking anything. Until then, they should just remain patient. Experimenting with the mirror *today* without trying to push changes back would give those users a chance to do "familiarization" drills with the majority of mercurial's features, with the exception of the final push.
