Thanks for your $0.02 and I think you are right to think longterm if the
project should succeed.
Here is a problem I have and I know I will get ripped apart for that:
I mostly have time in between projects at work (while the network is doing
maintenance or the server is being backed up...). Unfortunately, I have not
been able to convince management to implement Linux in our workstations (we
have one server running linux). So when I get a window of opportunity to
participate I am sitting on M$ windowz machine. Are/is the tools/software
available for M$ XP?
In order for me to participate the submission process needs to be hassle
free and hopefully available for a M$ environment.
If, like Ed said, they are going to use a CVS repository, you will be
able to get the tools for Microsoft Windows. I recommend you get cygwin
from
http://www.cygwin.com, and install cvs. Cygwin is a command-line
terminal for MS Windows. You can install ssh, vi, emacs, cvs, etc. on
your workstation. I have also seen people use WinCVS
(
http://www.wincvs.org/), which is a GUI frontend for CVS.
