Hi Jon,

Thanks for pointing this out. Like I said, I'm relatively new to this
whole open source experience and I still have a lot to learn and any
mentoring is helpful.

I've been assuming that the readers of this list are developers who are
interested in working out the code and discussing various changes. To this
end I think submitting patches is a nice way to go about proposing and
discussing a change. Even with write access into the repository, it might
be a good habit to continue. In that way developers like myself could
submit changes with a large potential affect without jeopardizing the core
CVS system and when the change was approved the original author or else
someone with CVS write access could merge the changes. CVS branches could
also be used for this. Please let me know where my assumptions are
incorrect.

On another note, has anyone spent any time thinking about or developing a
test suite for ensuring that key functionality remains in the system? This
may be able to mitigate the affects of changes that developers like myself
make to the system.

Chris
