My apologies if I misunderstood what you were saying. If we can make it easier to iterate that would address 95% of my current frustrations with the process of contributing. > There are other additional things we should work on though, e.g. giving > better feedback to new developers. No argument. But the Twisted code standards are high and usually have a high number of iterations to get any fix in...if we can get out of the stone age of shuffling patch files around and get to some form of push/pull system that would reduce a lot of my heartburn about "do this...OK looks good...now do this too and integrate with ticket XYZ...great almost there...I think you should do this now too...". -J
