Werner has pending patch (http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED] che.org&msgNo=1679).
We are well aware that there is a pending patch. Axl said he was working on testing it and I am sure Berin will glance over it when he has time. I don't have the encryption expertise and the code background of the codebase to properly review it.
It will be committed when it's been reviewed and tested. If you are waiting for the patch you can always apply it in a local copy and let us know how it works.
Hint: grow the team :)
As you are well aware the ASF policy is: "Frequent and valuable contributers to a project are granted write access to the source code repository."
Now I have every intention (and I am sure so do Berin and Axl) to grow the team but I would be hesitent to do so on the basis of 1 patch that hasn't been reviewed yet. We have much confidence in Dittman and are looking forward to working with him in the future and hope he can contribute a lot to the project, but I think we should stick to procedure..
And I think that's what Axl was referering to when we replied with: "The more you do, the more you are allowed to do! Go for it."
Thanks,
Erwin
