Do tell me if > i'm wrong. 8-) Sim directory maintenance was, for a long time, very vague. I'm trying to clarify things a little so that people that have a motivation to work in this directory can do so with little or no hinderance. At the same time trying to ensure that a few basic procedures are followed. I think part of this is ensuring that people directly affected by the infrastructure have a fairly free reign over it. > Personally, I wouldn't mind someone else having responsibility for > reviewing my 'common' patches. Even if you have write privs on sim/common you're still free (encouraged?) to seek advice from others. (Is this change a good idea? In 20:20 hindsight was that bit a bad move?) > I'd like to make sure i'm not doing more damage than i intend, and i > say 'responsibility' because if somebody doesn't consider it their > responsibility well, then, it probably won't happen. Just as long as the damage is limited to ``flesh wounds'' :-) Whats the worst that could happen - something gets broken? Oops! Actually, I think that the worst that could happen is for the code's development to stagnate (unless, that is, there is no one that thinks it is useful). enjoy, Andrew
