I want to follow up and testify how successful this change is. People
without an ECA or without any idea of the process, flow in easily as
contributors.

I also want to say how successful the move to Github can be. In the BIRT
project, we were able to attract a couple of highly skilled developers who,
this may sound familiar, have better things to do than jumping through
legal hoops.

Also, our efforts to create an automatic development environment setup with
Oomph are *extremely *effective. People can get started with BIRT
development (which is a highly complex project) within 15 minutes.

If your project has problems attracting developers, do two things:

* Move to Github
* Create an Oomph setup.

Cheers,

Wim

PS, my E50 donation to FoE (Friends of Eclipse) is in escrow in the bank.
The problem is that the only payment method is a credit card, which I can't
use.
