[jbosstools-dev] Modeshape tools sources in JBoss Tools' SVN repo in trunk :: after moving to github, can we delete them?

[Andrej Podhradsky]

Hi Randall,

thank you for your reply but I think it isn't necessary to give me a write access.
In my opinion it's good that only admins (responsible people) have a write access to that git repo.
All I need now is to modify and finish one test for modeshape, I will create an appropriate JIRA issue
and follow steps described at 

https://github.com/ModeShape/modeshape-tools#contribute-fixes-and-features

The QA team is going to have their own git repo and then all bot tests will be moved to this new repo.

Have a nice day!

Andrej.

Andrej,

We'll gladly give you write privilege on the "modeshape-tools" repository [1] if you so desire it. We want all Red Hat employees to be able to contribute effectively and efficiently and do not want to slow them down.

But please be aware that the ModeShape community uses pull-requests for *all* changes (with a corresponding JIRA issue). This lets anyone in the community submit/review/discuss proposed changes. And most developers (whether or not they're Red Hat employees) are very content with submitting changes via pull-requests and leaving the responsibility of merging to one of the few people with write privilege. (After all, merging pull-requests with Git is generally pretty simple, but those that merge are expected to follow a process [2] to ensure that the changes are valid and properly applied.)

So please let us know if you still want write privilege and the extra responsibility that it entails. :-) 

Best regards,

Randall
