You know, I've always thought it would be cool to have [potentially usable] projects where there could be code reviews, advice given, etc. to any developer that wanted to participate, as a sort of "mentoring project" kind of thing. Perhaps it would have to be funded by the contributers, a company, school, or something as it would undoubtedly take large chunks of time, but it could be interesting. > Sure, you could always back it out if you had to [...] ...which obviously takes even _more_ time: not only do you have to find the source of the trouble but everywhere the trouble touches, and this would lead to massive headaches very quickly, so I completely agree: commit access must be guarded. >> I think that any project has to have some coherent message and a >> person who visits your website and starts looking at the mail archive >> and so on has to be able to figure out quite quickly "WTF is struts" >> and to have such an incoherent message due to this Action/Shale >> bifurcation seems very negative.
