Re: How to handle module contributions

2014-02-17 Thread Joseph Schaefer
Judgement call depending on what you might consider a reasonable size for a minor fix versus an independent work (e.g. new module). The larger the patch the more likely you should consider having the author file some paperwork with Apache to cover the contribution. HTH On Feb 17, 2014, at 7:20
