Hi Paul, FYI on the committers... I'm intensely aware of the licensing and IP considerations. I didn't let anyone have write access to the github repo without an Apache ICLA on file. One person emailed me changes - I didn't read those until the ICLA was submitted.
The code done by people other than me amounted to a few bug fixes. Useful, no doubt, but not new features. -Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Fremantle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 12:07 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Understanding the code repo situation with GitHub > > > I think its important for graduation that all code is managed on the > Apache SVN.
