Re: Need for a collaborative development of WML (was Re: wml-2.0.9: wmb suggestion: cc bug report to sender)

Denis

I am not sure that a "system" is really necessary. I guess that there is
only a small number of people who would actually contribute (especially as
WML IS in a pretty good shape). For this, I believe, CVS write-access to
people with demonstrated understanding of WML would be enough, if you define
who development is going to work (stable and development branch, for
example). In addition, it should be clear how it will be decided of a patch
is going into the stable branch. I think, one person making this decision
(based on the input of other interested parties) would work best.

Keep it simple!

Cheers,
Fritz
