Oh gosh, what did I get myself into
I agree ksmaze that it's unfortunate Giles himself isn't here to chime in, but, "the show must go on" ...
I must say I've never done an open source project before and have only worked in a closed source environment with trusted peers, so I'm not really sure how to setup and manage this context. Need to look up some best practices I suppose.
I would be happy just being a contributor, rather than doing the administrative or ownership end.
I have no preference to a revision control system, but agree we need one.
Please note that I am not a software engineer by profession, but rather an enterprise sysadmin with a big toolbox to get things done.
Questions that come to mind:
Who should have access to make changes?
How do we manage the circle of trust?
Do changes have to be approved before they're available to everyone?
How should testing work - e.g. if I make a change that fixes my problem but breaks something hti had spent 3 hours on?
