Hi John, i remember that you are investigating whether we could be using Gerrit for Lily work. I may've asked this question already, but i don't remember whether there was a definitive answer: does gerrit have a web interface that allows to create new commits using only a web browser? I've skimmed over http://qt-project.org/wiki/Gerrit-Introduction but didn't find any answer.
The reason i'm so concerned about this is simple: it would enable hordes of LilyPond users (;-)) to participate in Lily development. The following situation happened to me several times: a user had a problem, i've explained how to fix it (or simply sent a link to appropriate section in manuals), and i asked "how could we improve the manuals so that you had found this information easier/understood it better?". Unfortunately, the responses are usually too vague to be turned to a patch on the spot, and i don't have time to think about them myself (and it doesn't make sense to ask the user to install Lilydev and learn how to make a patch just for this). With a web interface, this would become massively simpler. Also, Graham's catchphrase "patches appreciated" would become much more powerful :) cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
