I discussed this proposal privately or on irc with different people, I'll try to formalize it here.
I think it would be nice to offer access to a dedicated svn repository on crux.nu to 3rd party contributors (the current 'contrib')
The main motivations behind this proposal are the following:
- Versioning and history also for contrib - Promote teamwork - Make the contributors acually feel part of a project, much like the old CLC.
[...]
- Potential improvement of quality in ports.
Considering these goals, I'm not sure if we should keep the conditions to join as low as they are now.
Agreed. I assumed that was the plan anyway when Simone said that the new system will be "similar to the old CLC".
I'm in particular thinking that the way contributors appear in public will reflect back on the whole project (that holds of course true for all of us, not only the contrib guys!). IMHO we should therefore require a solid knowledge on CRUX, and an okay reputation both amongst users and devs.
