Hi Adolfo
This is similar to what I proposed quite some time ago, the main difference
was
that I tried to accommodate holidays, by partitioning the project into work
areas
with primary and secondary committers. These are indicated in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/OCL/Dev/Areas although I've not noticed anyone
other than
me updating this page.
Either primary or secondary committer could
notify an up-to two week holiday once every three months, thereby adding
up-to
two weeks to the 3 working day delay. I prefer 120 elapsed hours (or less)
to three
working days; it avoids time zone and weekend ambiguities.
I think the reviews are very important, and should not be bypassed just
because
one of us is on holiday. On the other hand we do want to make faster
progress
particularly with the M6 API freeze looming.
Sort of +1 with refinements.
Regards
Ed
I want to propose a new more flexible contribution/review policy.
It has been demonstrated that most of us are quite busy with
our daily
work, and some times the progress of the project is blocked
because the
patches are slowly reviewed. The idea could be the following:
- An attached patch should always comply the following premises:
1. The patched code must make the JUnit tests pass.
2. API Tooling must be happy with it.
- Unless the reporter requires an special reviewing because of an
important design decision, the patch could be committed after
3 natural
days (Monday-Driday), so that any of us with available time has a
considerable time (2 days) to review it and it's not
certainly blocked
if nobody have time to do the review.
So, for instance, If I attach a patch to a bugzilla on Friday, any of
you could add any review or revision on Monday and Tuesday. If no
comments are received I could commit the changes on Wednesday.
What do you think ?
Cheers,
Adolfo.
