At this point, **all** code should be exempt from code review. To explain in more detail, there's two models a project can follow:
= review then commit = Mature communities usually follow this, when there's substantial risk in making chances. Wave is way to young for this, IMO. = commit then review = This is what I'm used to. Make a commit, and have other developers watch the commit list. They can object on the dev list if they see something they don't like, but the basic assumption is that, if you have commit rights, we trust you. So I would say, yeah, create a sandbox area in SVN. Have as many play areas as folks want. Those can be clones of the WIAB code, or can be completely fresh directories. As a start, I'd say, anyone who'd like to participate in such experiments should submit an ICLA to Apache. This is a legal document stating that you give a license to Apache to the code that you provide (but you still retain copyright). See here: http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html#cla Whilst this doesn't grant you commit rights to the repo, it is certainly a prerequisite, and will ease the inclusion of your code into the repository. If you do send your ICLA as suggested in the above link, feel free to mail me privately and I will track its arrival.
