I have read virtually very email on this list since 2004. The basic
expectations have never changed for a developer who wishes to help
move axiom forward. Work on a change, document it, submit a patch.
I am free to use whatever SCM I choose. I am free to pursue whatever
problem my heart desires. There are no restrictions, there are no
bottlenecks.
If I have a problem to solve I can hack away in whatever manner suits
me. I can document my work in the process. I can test and verify my
changes locally using whatever technique gives me confidence. Once
satisfied, using any tool of my choosing, I can post a diff against
Silver in a matter of seconds. It is my responsibility, and mine
alone, to ensure that the change is a quality change.
Silver is a moving target. If a conflict were to emerge between my
change and Silver, I deal with it.
The process is so blindingly simple I find it hard to believe it even
needs discussion.
