+1 Include in your definition of "child" any developer who has the time to discover and fix the root of the problem but not the time to do learn git, avoid injecting unwanted changes, make a patch, mail it, register for github, make a pull request, follow up on lack of action on pull request, translate review comments into their own language, overcome the disheartening, rebase the patch, fight with git again, succeed in a pull request, get a late review about pep8 failure, repeat the whole process, then go back and add tests, raise a ticket because the release engineer wants one for tracking reasons, ... only to find the next release doesn't have the fix. ;-) -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
