FYI we are making progress on the myfaces sandbox. If you have something to contribute and you don't want to refactor package names, etc. just hold off for no more than 2-3 weeks when the entire svn reorg is done. Feel free to use SF if that is your preference. Just letting you know that a MyFaces home for these types of components is coming soon. sean -----/Original Message----- In the dev-list this was already discussed and I just want to recall what Craig wrote as part of one of his comments in that discussion: ----- cited message ----- <snipped /> So, how does someone who is interested in participating, but is not currently a committer, demonstrate that they are worthy of committer status? Historically, that gets measured by intelligent contributions on the dev and user mailing lists, attaching proposed patches to bugzilla reports, nagging the existing committers to apply them, and so on. But it can be a little frustrating, because you often depend on an existing committer (who, as we all are, tends to be very busy and spends most of their volunteer time on Struts scratching their *own* itches) -- if I go apply someone's patch, or add a new significant contribution, I'm taking some measure of resonsibility to ensure that I will clean up any messes that *I* made by virtue of doing that commit. So, for Struts at least, a SourceForge project (struts.sf.net) has turned out to be an interesting mechanism for letting ideas germinate, with completely different rules about commit access. And, several of the existing Struts subprojects have come in that way. It's not something that I would suggest the MyFaces community dismiss. <snipped /> ----- cited message ----- That's also my reasoning behind the jsf-comp project. regards Alexander
