Hi Michael / FS enthusiast,<br>
<br>
In my opinion, it will be an undeniably perfect chaos if everyone wants to do everything. One way<br>
I can suggest out of this is the following:<br>
<br>
- sets of persons that does all the stuff on the FS core. I'm not sure if this one will work out but<br>
I think these are the only persons who has commit access to the source code and will also be willing<br>
to accept modifications, enhancements, etc.<br>
<br>
- individuals can ask if they can be the maintainer/tester for a particular module. Bug fixing,<br>
sending modifications and enhancements will still be subject to the approval of anthm.<br>
<br>
- an array of persons that will take ownership on what FS can do and provide realiable working<br>
examples for it. Currently, it takes amount of pain for a newbie on how to configure SIP because<br>
the examples are too confusing and sometimes there is not certainty if this will work on what<br>
release of FS or not.<br>
<br>
- any individual that has time and interest can start owning the porting of FS to other operating<br>
system. Like in my case, I am working on making FS ported to FreeBSD ports but I don't know if<br>
somebody did it or if he is currently doing it, as to what stage he is in?<br>
<br>
- there should be a release engineering team. In my opinion, a stable and current release will be<br>
much more sane.<br>
<br>
As with any other successful open source project, we won't be starting to say I want to contribute<br>
this and start working on that. We should indicate that you take ownership of this and any<br>
comments should be forwarded right unto you.<br>
<br>
Again, this is just my opinion. You can take some of it or leave it using "sudo rm -rf blah/*" .<br>
<br>
There and back again,<br>
Demuel I. Bendano<br>
