Hello Yusuf, Yuv,
Nirvan & Jochen have been contributing to the project. I know them
personally. I know you also Yusuf. Yuf, I have not met you but seeing your
feedback on this mailing list, I believe you are a better developer than me.
There will be 2 types of contribution: Direct & pull requests. All those
who I know (includes you 2) will be added to the project (on BitBucket), if
they want to. Others will have to pull from BitBucket, code, submit them by
using the BitBucket pull request. We'll have control over the project then.
Yusuf, may I suggest you to revamp the code in the way you suggested in
your earlier mail? Yuv, can you help Yusuf?
Best regards,
Nadim Attari
P.S. Humble request to Sun: I want you to contribute as well :-)
