Another way is for each person who has been in the avail file for more than 1 year to have to annually adopt 1 new committer to take under his wing and teach them the ropes. This would even apply to me, who hasn't actually made a commit in over a year or so. This would yeild square law growth per year, which is aggressive even for a commercial enterprise! Preferably matching new commiters to mentors who have expertise in similiar parts of the tree, but this would not be required. I would rather spend my time helping to mold a new committer, than wasting it reading all the _crap_ on the mailling lists lately. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
