Well, I was thinking I was living in a world with defined procedures for submitting a project with a list of initial committers, getting the project approved, and then arranging to have the committers on the list participate in the project.

Uhh, what kind of world are you living in where the only way to contribute to an open source project is if you already have commit access? Commit needs to be earned, you earn it by sending in patches, fixing bugs, filing bugs, etc. None of those things require commit access, if they did then no open source project would ever get a new contributor. -garrett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
