Mike, I'm confused. I'm sure it's me (being a foreigner and all), but
I don't understand what you're asking of me...

I did a big commit 'solo', it nearly was vetoed. The suggestion was I
talk about what I plan to change before actually committing next time
I needed to make changes that might influence other's code. I did
(this thread), but now you seem to be asking me to discuss what I'm
going to do even BEFORE I actually write code, locally?

I'm not sure what your process is, but mine generally starts with a
goal ("enable js output from MXML"), after which if tinker with the
code until it works. This may or may not involve dead ends, reverts or
do-overs. Mostly, what I thought might work doesn't and what ends up
working is not at all what I though it might be. When the code works,
I clean it up, re-format it, run the tests one more time and commit.

I'm not sure how I can discuss changes to the code before I touch the
code. I can, however, discuss what I'll be working on, which I thought
I did...

As the original contributor of the FalconJx code, in my mind you are
the de-facto project lead. I therefore defer to your suggestions, most
of the time ;-) I don't mind that at all, as long as we work as a
team. I'm trying to understand what you think is the best way to
cooperate and how I can best fit that into my work. Please be patient
and maybe explain things "like I'm a 5 year old", just so I understand
what it is you're expecting of me.

Thanks,

EdB
