Hi,
I'm sending this here as folks developing Maven projects probably all
subscribe here.
On the PMC list we've talked about setting up a sandbox that all
Apache committers would have access to so that experimentation with
Maven projects can happen easily.
Case in point: Jeremy and Edwin are working on a new feature in
Continuum so we setup a branch for them to work on as the are both
Apache committers, both have CLAs on file so we just gave them access.
Now for this feature we also need some work done on the release
plugin which Jeremy is also working on. So instead of doing one offs
every time we want to allow people to experiment or collaborate with
one another we came up with the idea of creating a sandbox that any
Apache committer can work in. John asked that we air this idea on the
dev list.
I don't think there is any downside as it makes it easier for folks
to work on Maven and contribute. We already have a sandbox so we
could just open the perms on that. It's a free for all in there
anyway. If we find that we have so many contributors and need
sandboxes for each project then we can do that in the future but for
now I think opening the perms on the sandbox would be a fine start.
