I would add a note to Danny's comment: treat contributors as your primary users.
I have seem many projects (inside and outside ASF) where people submit patches and the patches are just ignored, without even an explanation why it was not accepted. I know that applying a patch is not that simple in most cases, but I think the risk of breaking something is lesser than the risk of losing a good contributor. After all, if the patch breaks something, you can fix it later; but if you piss-off a contributor he/she will probably put his/her efforts in another project. -- Felipe On Fri, 2004-12-10 at 07:28, Danny Angus wrote: > Encourage anyone to contribute, create a welcoming culture but let people > earn your trust, don't form a clique.
