There's been a lot of discussion lately about improving participation in Boost, this is a call to arms for a *small* initial experiment which I hope will grow into something bigger, perhaps after some tweaking to the initial experiment. The aim is to merge the ideas put forward for a Boost Guild, with mine for a roving hit squad to tackle neglected libraries. It goes like this:
* Someone, lets call him a manager/mentor/maintainer puts forward a library that has a large number of open tickets against it and which maybe hasn't seen maintenance in some time. * The manager creates a copy of that library in the sandbox for folks to work on.
Why not just branch the library in the main Boost area and then give access to anybody you want to work on it to there ? Is not that what branches in SVN is all about. Copying to the sandbox seems unnecessary.
The sandbox is in svn now and a copy in svn is the same as a branch. -- Michael Caisse Object Modeling Designs www.objectmodelingdesigns.com
