Hello All,
The recent list discussion has, at least, left one important process question in it's wake:
How do we share changes amongst ourselves before we are ready to both commit them to master branch, and also Commit to them as ideas and code as a group?
I have thought of two ways and I like one better than the other, but by no means pretend to know which is better between the two or if either are a good idea over all.
So, #1:
-each user in the FAS group websites would have their own git branch, by default. Changes could be reviewed and cherrypicked into master by $some_one .
and #2:
-use fedorapeople to host 'personal' git repos. Changes not ready for prime time, or just seeking broader review and collaboration can be pulled by anyone. In my test, only the $user can push. Mods that are $deemed_worthy can be pushed or cherrypicked into master.
I personally like #2, but I think either would solve the problem. I like it because it leaves the main repo alone and seems to leverage the power of git's distributed nature; it's fun to play with :-}
I have jotted down some notes on how to get a git repo on people space to play with. These "worked for me" :

Would love thoughts and comments about the idea of sharing code before we are ready to commit it to master.
Thanks for listening,

I like #2 as well, and you can use FS ACLs to allow everybody in the web group (or whatever you'd like) to push. There are some docs for this at the bottom of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/fedorapeople.org (and in the setfacl manpage).
Now we just have to figure out how to cherrypick neatly :)
Thanks, Ricky
