Contributing to CVS

[Tom]

Hi!

We're using PHP SCA/SDO for our API and theres loads of features we'd
like to add, and a few bug fixes we've made on our installation.

How can we contribute to the main CVS?

Tom, thanks, it will be great to have your participation.

For the bugs, these should be raised on the bugs system, and if you have
proposed patches you should make them accessible so that a developer can
review them.

For the new features, you should start some discussions about your
proposals here on the list, so that interested parties, both developers
and users, can comment. After that would be the time to discuss
integrating code into the repository.

Welcome aboard!

Only fixed one small bug so far. I'll report it.

The new features are extending some of the Bindings. Is this the right
forum for discussing additions to those?

Hi Tom,

Yes, this is the right place to discuss additions to the Bindings.
Looking forward to your thoughts...

Regards, Graham.

Hi All

I should also add that the project is trying ensure that the code base
in CVS has a known IP provenance so that everyone can use it with some
confidence. This is a bit of a new thing for a PECL project so to
make this work there is an Apache style CLA [1] in place. People sign
up when they want to start contributing code other than bug reports.
The CLA is some legalise that IBM concocted (I'm an IBMer) to confirm
that any code that is contributed is yours to contribute. This may all
sound a bit onerous but hopefully it's fairly simple and useful in the
long run. Be interested on some feedback on this process.

Regards

Simon
