Subject: [GeoNetwork-devel] Motion: Create a sandbox environment on SVN

Hi PSC,
This is a motion for you to discuss and vote on related to a
discussing on the list that clearly points to the need of a sandbox
environment in SubVersion.

Justification:
Allow developers to use the GeoNetwork SVN as a place to store their
new software developments within the sandbox.
This will help to keep projects aligned with the code on trunk and
will also help to quickly merge new functions into trunk. By
developing in a sandbox, other developers have an early chance to see
what is been developed in the sandbox. This will make it easier to
make, understand and discuss proposals for new functionality and will
help to avoid forking.

How:
- We'll create a sandbox directory on SVN and add working copies of
the trunk in there for those who want to work on a sandbox.
- Sandboxes should have a limited lifetime and be focussed on
development of new functionality that is intended to be merged back
into trunk when accepted by the PSC.
- New committers will be added to SVN in the understanding that they
only work on the sandbox.
- Commit access to trunk is not given to them, unless they become
approved committers to the trunk or have received the OK for an
individual commit.

So I need one of you to second the motion and the others to vote.

Ciao,
Jeroen
