Correct. The intent of the sandbox is to provide an area in which existing ASF committers can explore the viability of extracting potentially common code from an existing ASF code base into a shareable component. (That intent has been stretched somewhat, but that is still the real purpose of the sandbox.) > >The main issue with having commit access is that you need to have signed > >the appropriate legal forms. > > As understand it, you must sign the CLA before anybody else commits your > patches too. That depends on the scale of the patches. For most patches that are bug fixes or perhaps minor enhancements, a CLA is not generally necessary. (I say "generally" because it may depend on your employer's policies on IP ownership and contributing to open source projects.) For substantial contributions, a CLA may be necessary. -- Martin Cooper > Anyway, a link to http://jakarta.apache.org/site/source.html or any of it's > "parents" from the etiquette page might be appropriate. > > /Mattias Jiderhamn > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
