I submitted an updated federation spec for code review. I am sure that there are more issues that I have forgotten about. In addition, I inserted a few comments. In some places FedOne behavior is not in sync with the spec and I am not sure whose fault this is, i.e. spec or FedOne. I hope you find the patch or parts of it useful. As a general side note: In the KDE project we could deal with people submitting without review. The responsible project owner had to review changes of newbies as they appeared in the SVN. Large or fundamental changes had to be discussed on mailing lists before they were committed. If a submitter messed things up (which happened), he got a slap on his fingers. If that did not help, SVN access could be removed (although I cannot remember a case where this has happened). All it takes is a project owner who has a look on changes done by new developers. I like this optimistic model more, because it allows the project to move fast. But wave uses a pessimistic model which is more company-style and less open-source-project-style. Looking at the codereview web site I see a 3 week old patch of James still pending. That is not really encouraging, is it? Furthermore,. the contributors are not listed prominently. For example Tad Glines did a useful patch for me but his name is hard to find at all. If Google really wants to run an open source project. someone should rethink the modus operandi. Now, I promise that this was my last comment on this issue :-) Cheers Torben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Wave Protocol" group.
