There is no IP review process. What are you talking about? To sign a contribution agreement, sure. There is zero IP review here. > The > mechanism if it's a patch file or a pull request shouldn't matter if > we trust the committers to do the right thing here.

You two are completely missing the point in that operating in Git and working with other via pull requests is the difference between "Well, that will only take a minute to try and merge and run it" and "... ah, shit I'll just look at that later" I find the mental barrier starkly different because it literally takes a matter of seconds with Git to know whether it works. There is one path. Where processing patches in JIRA is fraught with possible errors every step along the way. So I would say that attribute might make it more appealing for time strapped people to process contributions. There's a world of difference between taking a patch from JIRA and mucking around and processing a pull request. How about you guys setup what you like with plugins, with outreach and processing patches. Give it your best. And I'll work on Polyglot Maven, Maven Shell, and some new plugins at Github and we'll empirically compare the results. > But at the same time > it's a PITA to make a patch when you don't have some place to commit > incremental changes. > > On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 1:35 PM, Paul Benedict <pbened...@apache.org> wrote: >> On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 12:30 PM, Jason van Zyl <ja...@maven.org> wrote: >>> >>>> Is there a way we can utilise pull requests from github.org/apache and >>>> still get them back to the svn repository so we can try this in a >>>> meaningful >>>> way? >> >> I thought any code stored in SVN but developed outside of Apache >> requires going through the incubator to protect IP rights? >> >> Paul >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org >> >> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org > Thanks, Jason ---------------------------------------------------------- Jason van Zyl Founder, Apache Maven http://twitter.com/jvanzyl --------------------------------------------------------- Our achievements speak for themselves.
