You document the procedure, and every single time the > issue arises you paste a link with that procedure :) Damn, this is starting to get to be a trend ... but, I can't but agree 100% with this ... we *can* enforce, and I doubt it will have much (if any) affect on the # of patches that come in, since ppl want to see their work committed, and will follow any *reaonable* procedure we have for them to do so ... Do other large projects accept patches 'ad hoc' like we do? FreeBSD? Linux? KDE? - -- Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Hosting Solutions S.A. (http://www.hub.org) Email . [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN .
