Writing directly to the
CVS repository is reserved for
libwww hackers who have intimate
knowledge of the code base and have proven their ability to use this privilege
to the benefit of the libwww user community. You are of course more than
welcome (read strongly encouraged) to submit patches to the <
www-lib@w3.org> mailing list regardless of whether you
have write access or not. If the patch is good, chances are good that it will
be added to the CVS codebase by one of the libwww hackers.
We don't have a formal mechanism but the idea is that you have to prove
your hacking ability. The best way to is to start contributing patches based
on the latest code base and to be active on the <www-lib@w3.org> mailing list. Make sure that you have
read the libwww style guide before you start.
We have a very interesting set of things to do
- your help is required to make timely progress. Remember that only the sky is
the limit - cool ideas are always welcome! Pick a project and don't forget to
send mails to <www-lib@w3.org> about what you are
up to or to ask questions!
