Hi,
Since when did we start inviting people into Jakarta based on their first (AFAIK) proposed - and not yet accepted - patch? Has anyone looked at the patch? I haven't seen any discussion on it, and I know that I'm not going to have time to look at it until the weekend, long after this vote will have closed, apparently.
please let me state some points at this time: - I did not ask for Karma explicitly. I phrased it like "may be when I have earned trust, I can get Karma to finish the job", or something like that. - Even more so, I am completely with Martin on that point. I wouldn't invite a new developer to an existing project, at least not without good reasons, without seeing (and possibly more important: discussing) code. - This applies in particular to my proposed patch: Given the nature of the proposed changes, they are obviously non-trivial. As I do not know the project, the developers, and the users, it is most possibly unwise to let me introduce new interfaces at the core or do stuff like that. This is something, an experienced developer should do. - My main concern was to make sure, that I have the attention of such a developer, which would be ready to review, refuse, or pull in a series of patches - each of which with a small, controllable effect and with the big picture in mind. However, I admit that it wouldn't be my interest to wait several weeks for a reply. That's why I have asked in front: If noone had replied, then I would have preferred to save my time. In other words: I'd be more than happy, if Martin would agree to be my guide. I would, however, beg, that he agrees to spend some hours per month so that we have a reasonal chance to get this in within the next three months or so.
