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!
