Yep, we'd just ask you to submit patches via Jira as usual. github would be a temporary working area. > Would a git repo need to be hosted privately?

I don't think there's any policy (although infra@ frown on massive clones due to the way that everything is in one giant repo), patches would go through the normal process. The main win is that you and Manuel could commit your work to branches on the git repo and sync between them, which would make the resulting merge much easier. It would also make your work more visible to the outside world and, frankly, the git workflow is much better than svn IMNSHO. - Aidan -- aim/y!:aidans42 g:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://aidan.skinner.me.uk/ "We belong to nobody and nobody belongs to us.
