To be fair, this is not what Dominik suggested. The mercurial branches would be in the open just as the svn tree is and it would be even more inclusive in a way as everybody could create a branch of his/her own with write access immediately. > Code should go into the SVN as it is developed so there can be > feedback, etc. Which someones means there will be code that was bad, > buggy, undesirable, etc, but that always can be undone. I think it is important for us all, that we do have a single place with the code to discuss - and once we have enough people with write access it won't be necessary to think about any other place than svn for this. The "hg or git clone of svn" model works very well for the odd case of people who want to contribute larger patches but don't have write access themselves - which should be the exception. Stefan
