I would suggest we use sourceforge trackers, so we can track (that is it) the changes to the code back to bug reports. this works really nice, in particular if we commit code always mentioning the tracker item we are resolving with the modification we are committing. also, before committing code changes, make sure there is a tracker item to which you can refer, so really no changes are done for no trackable reason. in the projects to which I participate we do something similar and it's quite reassuring, to see commits that are more than a couple of years old and still being able to say why they were done! this also sort of obliges developers to "commit often, commit early". committ access is nice, but to administer the project we need to be able to release new versions and to grant write access to possible new developers. that is, we need administration rights. if we already have that (I don't and I would like to), no problem, otherwise I suggest we ask the Sourceforge staff. it looks nicer, to see that more than one person is committing new code... now some code I wrote is not really trackable to me except than for the signature on top of the files... ciao, Mario -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-8086" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
