Re: [jbosstools-dev] Any way to make FreeMarker IDE fixes available with less delay?
Basically, I was thinking about pulling more responsibility on myself.
That's surely a risk as I'm totally new to Eclipse plugin development,
and I don't yet know your policies either. So it's very useful if some
old timer JBoss Tool developers review the PR-s, but often I would
rather take the risk so that I can quickly fix/update things. That's
why on the FreeMarker list I asked if we could/should roll our own
build and update site, which can thus publish things regardless of the
pace PR-s can be processed (note that that thread has started before
you guys started reviewing the PR-s). But of course, for me the best
is if the whole process can stay here. So, who's possibly eligible for
"reviewing and testing PR's", or how would that work?

There is - we have an updatesite for freemarker site that builds every
night, so you can releases/fixes from it more or less immediately.
To get more content in, we need more content in PR's to the repos and if
someone
wants to step up to review and test PR's let us know.
As you notice if we come aware of something going stale we do react - to
avoid it going
stale repeatedly we need someone to have time and skills to push
content.
If it was something else you had in mind let me know. In any case, we
are pretty open
on what happens with freemarker tooling as long as it keeps (within
reason) being compatible with
multiple freemarker versions so it can be used in real projects that end
up having wide
range of freemarker content.
