I agree with Leo that we need to look at potential workflows. The main
challenge, as we speak, is that it is very difficult to integrate work
across our branches. 


We can all work with git except Denis. That is possible. In fact, the
upstream branch that I created tracks his repo commit by commit (it is
behind two commits as we speak). So we could always try to rebase our
changes to this branch, and they will cleanly apply to his repository.

I have a couple of questions for Denis in this regard:

- Coding standards. Denis, what makes a 'good patch', and when you
  edit/fix a patch. Can it be done by the author, so it can be easier to
  integrate? In other words, you review, the author fixes, you
  integrate? It might also reduce your workload.

- Plans. Do you have a roadmap of patches/features that you would like
  to see integrated?
