I just want to say a few quick words about how I see this working: 1.) SVN will be a development branch, it will not directly go into CPAN, rather I will run a diff on the SVN banch from time to time, read the changelog, and apply as necessary. 2.) If you don't add an entry into the changelog for a change, and I find something in the patch that doesn't match with any given entry, I will ask the list why someone did something. You better have a good reason :) 3.) Any API changes or additions should be discussed first on the list, and in private. Most of the existing API is the result of actual USE, which is why things aren't always orthogonal. A usage case will usually win an API change argument. 4.) I will appoint a co-maintainer or two in CPAN now that the permissions have been straightened out. If you are going to contribute code or act as a co-maintainer, I don't want you pushing any code to CPAN without me saying "go ahead". What does this mean to you? Well it means I will use subversion as a "patch submission" system, all patches made to the subversion system, with CHANGELOG entires will be accepted as submissions under the LGPL. I'll bundle those changes I think make sense, and for which people can come up with compelling arguments, in what will be the "official stable version" which will appear in CPAN. Hopefully that will give us a sufficiently flexible development branch for people wanting to take SDL perl in new directions, but keep enough stability that people can use it. Personally, I'd rather see more time spent building applications using it rather than altering the API. Sound good? Dave __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
