not entirely correct. it depends on the project and the commit model in use. in the httpd project, for instance, a +1 in review-then-commit mode meant 'i have tested this patch and think it is goodness.' in commit-then-review mode it essentially doesn't come up except in controversial not-yet-committed proposals. i have seen it used more often as 'i think this is a good idea' rather than that plus '.. and i'll help', regardless of what the written guidelines are. just to be realistic. :-) -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!"
