Personally, I think, if you (or others) could commit to maintain the contributions, they need not be perfect at the time of contribution ;-) And "a role within Sling" is generally a natural consequence of maintaining the contributed stuff ;-) Regards Felix > Ian > On 17 Apr 2009, at 10:10, Bertrand Delacretaz wrote: > >> Hi Ian, >> >> On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 10:10 AM, Ian Boston <[email protected]> wrote: >>> We (Sakai Kernel Development Team), are starting to create a number >>> of OSGi >>> bundles and services as extensions to Sling.
