If programmers know that there will be a record of any bad patch submissions, would they be less likely to contribute? Or would they be more likely to check their work before submitting it? I'm obviously hoping for the latter, but I suppose that the former is still a logical possibility. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
