Hi,

Extracted the rather admin related section about how to handle code of
GSoC projects

A lot of questions indeed and this was probably also the reason for the
current - very pragmatic - solution.

I will try to answer them in this mail.

> Why not in Stanbol's repository?

Because in the Apache SVN only committers can write and working with
patches seamed to be impractical for a first iteration.

Is there a better way to handle GSoC projects on Apache infrastructure?

I just required Kritarth to put the code on a public repository and to
use the Apache License. I think I mentioned google code and github as
possibilities.

For me the used repository seams rather unimportant for the first iteration.

> Could commit events be sent to our commits list so that we can follow?

Yes this is possible by configuring the Email Service Hook for a
Repository.  Can be configured in the Admin section of the repository
under the Hook section.

So it should be possible to send push notifications from github.com to
the "[email protected]". I am not sure if the
stanbol-commits list needs to be configured to accept those mails. If
I understood it correctly Github will use the mail address of the user
that pushed changes as sender. So I assume if
"[email protected]" joins the stanbol-commits list it should
work.

I have not mentioned iCLA (http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt)
yet. But this would make definitely sense before contributing the
Disambiguation Engine(s) to Apache.
