Before I add anybody to the project as developer with write permissions to CVS, I want to make sure that there is at least a minimul level of such "resonance". This includes simple things like conforming to a common coding style, in-advance negotiation of changes with global impact, etc.
I thought we have known each other for long enough a time to have such "trust" in each other's work. We will probably never gain 100% resonance, but then I wouldn't expect this anyway. The success of team-work is determined by the ability to make some compromises here and there. To stick with the picture: the resonnance frequency is somewhere between the developers.
That does NOT mean that there is any discrimination, or that any con- tributions will be igrnored or turned down - if you want, ask if any of the people who contributed to PPCBoot has reason to complain.
That's none of my business. All I'm saying is that having worked together for a long time, and us having ported ARMboot in the first place should suffice for us to have write access. And somehow I believe you know I'm right.
Umm, calm down. On the same base I could argument that you cut us (the PPCBoot guys off) by taking "our" PPCBoot sources and creating an incompatible ARMBoot. But I don't intend to start such a fruitless discussion.
I aggree. The mailing lists dcoument well enough why things went like they did. You never asked me for write access, though, that I would have granted you immediately.
Please let's keep this an _open_ project, not one where only one member has the power.
Umm... please don't misinterpret my role as a moderator.
It does NOT require write permission in the CVS to contribute to a project, or to get credited for your work.
Really? I remember some lengthy discussions about a patch that ended with a rather, er, grungy moderator asking me multiple times for a rewording of the README part of the patch, because he didn't like the patch.
There _is_ a difference if you have to beg for a feature to go into the sources.
