Yup - basically as people who are already commiters express interest and provide me with a github account, I will just add them ok? > BTW I for one don't like that github pull request business yet.

Also you can just clone directly qgis official repo since you are a committer and not bother with maintaining your own clone on GH which will simplify the process somewhat. If you look at the equivalent svn process you can see that we can ultimately do the same work with only one added command. Regards Tim > > Jürgen > > -- > Jürgen E.
