1 4.2 Typical Developer Experience
1 ================================
1
1 The typical experience for a developer in this project is the following:
1
1 1. You find yourself wanting to do something (e.g. fixing a bug).
1 2. You show some result in the mailing list or the IRC.
1 3. You are getting to be known to other developers.
1 4. You accumulate significant amount of contribution, so copyright
1 assignment is processed.
1 5. You are free to check in your changes on your own, legally
1 speaking.
1
1 At this point, it is rather annoying that you ought to ask somebody
1 else every change to be checked in. For efficiency, it is far better,
1 if you can commit it yourself. Therefore, our policy is to give you the
1 write permission to our official repository, once you have shown your
1 skill and will, and the FSF clerks have dealt with your copyright
1 assignment.
